You don’t get to set the rules and it is entirely possible for one of the 11 year olds to create something equal to or even better than the “professionals”.

Other professionals don’t do the best job they can and then hope to get paid and win the contract, so why should you?

To the BRSC: this isn’t how design works. You will only attract inexperienced designers and in the end you will get what you pay for. If you want to put a positive spin on this, hand-pick 5-10 designers based off their portfolio, reputation and/or recommendations that have proven themselves to a satisfactory level. Then pay those chosen at least a minimal fee to put the proper amount of work in, awarding the best solution to your design problem with a larger prize that rewards their skills and talent and know-how. This way, everyone involved wins, and no one walks away disappointed.
