Also, what if I can't use any of them - do I still have to pay anybody?

I just love contests !!!!
Please, post your conditions and specification here or on another thread. We hope you won't be cheater , so the escrow account may not be necessary - you can announce that you paid the winner and he on his behalf to confirm he/she has the money.
About the fact you don't want or cannot use any of them - no offence, but that won't be the problem of the designers who will take part. You better not do any contest. The idea of the contest is that the winner will take something and you get the best from the competition. In my opinion you don't need competition, you need to hire a logo designer who should do the thing according your needs. I also think that in competition the winning logo should stay as it is - it's not a service - but a showing of skills - no changes or modifications should be done.
Check Loreen - she's pretty awesome in doing logos and other stuff - check her site - and you will be able to ask for changes or modifications - that will be the same with every designer you're about to hire.
I will take a part of competition though - if you announce that.
Cheers,
