Question, seriously--

Is it wrong of me to become very annoyed with prospective clients that tell me that they want to have a "bunch" of cover designers make covers for them, and then choose (and pay) only the winner?

I don't mean that they'll do it in a way that's necessarily deceptive, to the participants (OTOH, I don't know that it's not, either...)

Now, we don't offer cover design services, so...it's no skin off my nose. But for some reason, this behavior really gets up my nose. It just feels so cavalier and dismissive of these folks' work and efforts...

Whatcha think, Ranters?
