The winning design is beautiful.
Terrible shame the artist got paid a whopping $175 for it.

"For just $299, they received 59 designs from 26 designers."
Lets do the math here:
299 / 59 = $5.09~ per "design"
Assuming that each designer submitted an equal amount of designs that would amount to approx (299/26)11.5 - oh heck we'll round up to 12 - designs per designer.
At $5.09/design theoretically each designer would be compensated approx. $61.08 for all 12 of their designs.
Ok now lets assume for time here. Let's assume that each design took no less than .5 hrs to complete. So 12*.5 = 6 hrs. This would bring the designers hourly rate ($61.08 / 6) for designs somewhere in the ballpark of an interns compensation at $10/hr.
Interesting.

The only dumb people in this "competition" are the designers who enter it.

In teh future, all jobs will be crowd-sourcing

When I need a new album to listen to, something really personal and relevant to my life, I always go the crowd-sourcing route, even though I'm a successful artist in my own right and value the integrity of the art-making process.
Every time, Bon Iver submits an album. They're always shit.
