Ok, lets see what this means. 500 entries, thats €50,000 in fees, assume another €100 per entry for just mounting, post production etc., thats another €50,000. Assume an average of €50 per entry for carriage (post etc. some arrived by hand), that’s another €25,000. If each entrant spent an average of 100 hours on the project, assume an average, really low (due to the possibility of students, unpaid work, uncharged work by offices etc) of €20 an hour, that’s another €1,000,000. Is a picture emerging yet. The DDDA are offering a single prize, it seems of €12,000 which in light of above a ridiculous reward for the investment above. Assume that 20% of the entries ustilised speicalist 3d cad services and other production systems at a cost of about €1,000 per entry, then we would have another €100,000 making a grand total of €1,225,000 (€1.225 million). At the very least the DDDA should invest in prublising the results in a book and CD format. Even if the cost of this is €10,000, they would still have a profit of €28,000 (not counting expenses), not to mention the sheer level of publicity surrounding the competition. Mind you it shows the level of frustration out there and the demand for more access to the market…. Hope this makes sense. Maybe I should run my own competition, the free design services garnered are remarkable.
