I will be running a competition where I want an artist to digitally redisign a terrible drawing I made. This prize will go to the best design (or redesign rather) What I need to know is for the prize would you rather win: A. A potential 2005 D Mark Error cent (Does not seem to be post mint damage but I am not as much of a pro as you guys) B. A 1945 Circulated Canadian 25 cent piece C. 10 Random Wheat Pennies D. A roll of 2010 Mint Pennies (rolled in original bank roll unopened and unchecked.)
In considering what you have to offer, the items you list are essentially compensation for work that will be subjectively evaluated seeking the 'best design', the criteria for which is impossible to define or glean from your post. For anyone to suggest what prize you should offer, entirely depends on how much work your 'terrible drawing' will take to render it capable of achieving 'best' status amongst an undetermined number of ideas that may be submitted for your review. Digital graphic design, retouching of images and such creative work takes time and a particular skill and doesn't come cheap and when it does it is usually at the expense of time and quality being compromised to acquire the finished product. In short, you need to post the thing you need redesigned for anyone to select what they will take in return for their work, should their work be selected as the winning design, and for the prizes value to be less than nominal the higher your standards of 'best design' happen to be.
