LG Electronics has just announced their "Design the Future" phone concept Competition, held in conjunction with creatives services website CrowdSpring. First prize is $20,000, and here's the kicker:
LG isn't looking for a deliverable design."They are looking for sketches," [CrowdSpring co-founder Ross] Kimbarovsky said.
Whether the winning entry turns into a mobile phone for LG remains to be seen, but Kimbarovsky said it's "very realistic that a prototype will be made. The designs submitted could influence the phones we will see next year."

sounds like horrible terms�

arising from or related to the Design, and you will not be entitled to any compensation
from LG with respect to your entry or the Design other than as provided to winners of the
Contest.�
I would expect more from a design centered company like LG.
I HATE that spec work has become acceptable in the world of Corporate sponsored competitions. No professional or aspiring professional should support these things.
