Personally, I'm not particularly motivated by art contests because of the possibility that I may do a lot of work and then get nothing for it.

In a race, the loser at least knows that the winner was in fact faster. But in an art contest I could loose to a work that I think is completely inferior.

So straight commissions are better. Or a contest where the artists send you a proposal, and then you pick the one you want to see.
