There is if you read the guidelines for submissions. That would be cool to participate in but I'm not a portrait photographer and I can't animate worth a carp either.

What? No Spec! means you don't do custom request work for free on the off chance you might win a contest.

So he is raking in the millions (net worth $65 M.) and is willing pop out $1.000 for his company logo that identifies his entire work?

I think that's really cheap.

These days you just have to announce that you need a new logo done and people will eat your poop if you hand them a few DVD copies as runner-up prices.

Woops! My bad. I thought you meant spec like in specifications or guidelines.

I learned something new now I won't be so flipping ignorant

Me too. Cheap *insult removed*.

EDIT: I just watched his video pitch for that contest - arrogant *insult removed* too.
