I've won a few contests on there, but it seems to have gotten a lot more competitive lately. It just sucks when you have an original idea that you know works better than the rest and they go for some clip-art tier shit :I I had that happen once... $500 design lost to by CLIPART!!!! But honestly it's not worth putting all your effort in, only if you have some spare time between waiting to hear back from job applications or something.
