I joined a contest to design a logo, the fastest way to build a reputation and to work hard for free. I proposed a stylized kiwi bird, all the other designers proposed variations of human heads and cogs. One "head & cog" logo was choosen as the winner. Now the contest holder's site displays a stylized kiwi bird as logo. No fraud, no scam, no disputes, no money stolen, just a complete waste of time
Hi, Corrado. I regret to learn about your experience with a contest holder. Note though that we do not have control over our users' action but, be assured that we do not tolerate unprofessional on the site. Allow me to help you with this. Email me at larao@freelancer.com, with the contest ID, so I can check. Thanks!
