LFGSS 2013 T-shirts (may even be ready in 2012)

Pro artists and designers would likely have to tender for work anyway so entering into a competition is hardly that different.

If they are good enough to enter, they should be paid. This is exactly what is wrong with people doing competitions for design - no value on the work created.

In fact, no personal malice intended, but your whole post is a joke. I know this isn't a real project, but the idea that you would get any sort of quality from such a cheap trick is a joke. Would you go to a 3 different bike shops, get them each to fix your bike, and then say,

Oh, I'm only going to pay one, as they are the best, sorry guys
