I'll try my luck but I would call this contest something like

Designing for love :)

Posts like this shouldn't be allowed on SM. SM has a lot of visitors and can generate a lot of traffic, these kind of posts are like free promotions, like getting your site up on Style Gala even if it's poorly designed and coded. Promoting contests and other stuff by opening a topic or posting stuff like "NEED A DEVELOPER ASAP" should be on the job board, not on the forum.

@RazvanPavel

I don't agree with you
Such posts give us chances to win some prizes
Why would I refuse them?

I suppose you don't like taking part in different contests if you say so

According to your logic Look at my design! posts should be treated as shameless self promotion ;)
but I treat them as a way to share experience and inspire each other

Totally agree -- the spam is getting a bit tiring.

Just my 2 cents. Sharing some information is not always SPAM, smashingmagazine is a Mecca for creative people from all over the world. So I guess THIS message on THIS forum hits the mark ideally.

@ YouLee, thanks for the post and count me in!

As this is officially a SPAM topic, here's a quick question:

how can I add a URL to my signature? :oops:
