That's 300$ each... It's a terrible place for everyone! Why? Real designers are extremely underpaid. For the rest (basic knowledge on a downloaded pirate version of a logo program) it might be ok...but it's not designer work. Copying other designer work on, for example,  99designs is easy...and regulation againts this is almost nonexistent and extremely vague.   Companies: are risking their image by creating their logo, etc. by random people, most aren't even designers at all. The rules they apply do not protect you from possible "court visits". If you get real problems what can you do? Tell in court It was a random kid on the other side of the world who is responsible...good luck finding him and bring him here. Companies most the time think they know their clients...they think they do so they create a brief that will fail for sure. Companies decide who is the winner. Companies aren't the target and most the time companies don't have the acute knowledge to judge what is the best design, only REAL DESIGNERS do. Read the documents/rules carefully and you will understand how flawed and dangerous they are... Good designers are underpaid so no real motivation doing what you need... so...don't spend 1$ on this if you have a serious business.   Remember
