@EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu I'm a designer living in the EU, originally from the US.
I love many things that the EU does (thanks!!! 💞
). However, having a "design contest" is not a good idea for many reasons.
I know you're likely well-meaning, but
here's the No!Spec site for info:

(You wouldn't have a "diagnose contest" with a bunch of doctors working without pay. You wouldn't have a "dining contest" where people cook food for free for the chance to be a favorite restaurant. Etc.)
