"When you think about what you get from a crowdsourcing contest, you realize how powerful this new trend really is. For a minimal amount you are able to tap the creative abilities and talents of a multitude of people across the world. Why pay one designer 10 times more for a product you may not like? You may also end up materially affecting someone’s life – some of our design submissions came from developing nations where $2,500 means a great deal. The one big drawback is that it is a time-consuming endeavor, and to manage a good contest takes a decent amount of planning and focus. Trust us though, it’s worth it."
