I am running a competition at my home for plumbers to come and install a new bathroom. I can do this myself, but hey, I thought the world of plumbing needed a boost. They get to work in my lovely house in the country, they must, of course do it for free, but the winner, to be chosen by me, will be advertised on my website and will get first use of the toilet. I will also run a story in the local newspaper which is bound to result in loads more work for the plumber. It's win win! Please don't all apply at once . . .

I think the problem here with what is speculative design is confusing because one also needs to consider “what do you get paid for doing” (i.e. what is your job). Paul, when you said you sent a painting into take hart you were not doing design on spec because that wasn’t what you did for a living, you were simply “having a go”.
For those of us that get paid to design, doing design and not being paid is not really a positive business model. Of course there are times when you will do work for a non monetary gain, but often the benefit is defined such as charity work etc.
Yes, this is a (take hart) competition style event, but the truth is, if you are paid to design, if that is what pays your mortgage, then you really would need to weigh up whether the chance of a gain from doing this work was really worth it for your business. And that is where this steps into the grey area of work on spec, because potentially you could be rewarded for your work/effort/time, but in this case you are not. You are speculating on a potential differed benefit which may not be given to you.

Mmmmmmmmmm. I think judging by the original post (and it's hard to say 100%) it looks as though Carsonified backtracked somewhat by offering the passes after they had originally posted the competition up. If that was offered in the first instance I don't think there would be as much of a kerfuffle as there has been. Even the end of year student awards all have prizes (which it has to be said students are encouraged to enter), yet Carsonified seemed to think that letting someone do it for no prize seems a bit stingy to be fair.

I think Carsonified's big problem is that a lot of people dislike them.
