I have never heard that before and hope i will never read such crap again: Unmatched Style announced a design contest on June 19th 06 with the promise of a grand prize of $1,500. The site to be redesigned was/is Nursing Homes.
On July 6th, the results of the contest were announced – and apparently it was won by Massive Blue – but (unfortunately for designer Sam Brown) a little further down the page Unmatched Style sais:
“...none of the four entries won the $1,500 prize because each was missing a critical piece of the requirements.”
Cool: First get designers to work and then withdraw the price with such a lame excuse.
More on the issue on Matthew Pennells site thewatchmakerproject.com.
