There is no other profession where the 'contest' (work for free, get paid only if you're chosen) would be acceptable.
If I asked for all content producers to go through all the work and shoot a custom set for me, and I'll pay the one that I like best... they would all laugh. Same goes for any other profession. People who participate in design contests hurt the entire profession by acting like bums holding cardboard signs. The holder of the contest is able to choose from a number of entries, but receives the lowest grade work available because they don't want to pay acceptable rates from a skilled designer. This helps no one.
