logo contest

Design symbol tournament

A logo contest is a competition where designers submit original logos for a company, organization, or project, with the winner typically receiving a prize or payment.

Businesses use logo contests to crowdsource design options, often through online platforms: We ran a logo contest and got over 200 submissions.

The practice is controversial among professional designers, who argue it devalues creative work by soliciting free labor from non-winners.
