Graphic Design Work (Logos, Artwork, Etc)
CrowdSpring.com ($300 min order)
I like this one the best for their privacy features & NDA with artists.Crowd Sourcing, where multiple graphic designers from around the world, submit fiinished work, to compete to win your bid. For example, I bid $500 for a logo design and I had over 100 graphic designers submit finished work. It then allowed me to send out my top 10 picks to friends to vote on the best one and leave comments, which helped me greatly in making my final decision.
