Freelancer.com US$20,000 Competition Determines Kanye West Would be the "Best Presidential Candidate of all Time!"

SYDNEY, June 29, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Freelancer.com, the world's largest outsourcing and design marketplace today announced the winners of its US$20,000 competition, consisting of a satirical 2012 US Presidential Campaign Logo Contest and a T-shirt design contest.

The Presidential logo contest, and the $US10,000 grand prize, was won by Felipe Rojas 'felro' from the United States. His candidate Kanye West defeated close to 5,000 largely infamous challengers with his logo entry declaring Kanye as "the best Presidential candidate of all time!"

The T-shirt contest also saw fierce competition with over 5,000 entries. The first prize of US$3,000 went to Wendy Rodriguez 'WendyRV' from Mexico with her entry "Bid there, done that, bought the t-shirt"  

Speaking from Silicon Valley, CEO Matt Barrie said, "Clearly, there was no shortage of outstanding designs to choose from but Felipe's logo and Wendy's clever t-shirt statement stood out to our judges – fitting our light hearted briefs perfectly. Their wins underline the fact that anyone who needs a logo can launch their own competition via Freelancer.com. We have over 600,000 innovative designers, like Felipe in the US and Wendy in Mexico, across the globe."

"The clear message for individuals and small businesses is that by using the Freelancer.com contest platform, they too can choose from hundreds of designs at a price that's within their budget. What's more, our designers couldn't be happier. It's a great way for them to showcase their work and we are by far the most lucrative contest site out there with commissions as low as 3%," concluded Barrie.
