Design Contests forum question

[Ringr]

This is taken from the Design Contest rules topic by Armstrong:

If you run a design contest here, then there must always be a winner from within Namepros.

We feel that there is enough design talent on Namepros that if the offered prize is reasonable, then there will be several good entries. If we allow contest holders to specify that a winner does not have to be selected from within NP, then it would open up the forum for abuse by others who run contests merely to get fresh logo and design ideas, without actually intending to pay.

One more: if anyone posts an un-watermarked design entry, forum staff and forum leaders may delete the post. Designers, please help us by watermarking your images; and if you notice one that isn't watermarked, then report the post ASAP.

Does this at all mean that a winner has to be selected? Like if you want a logo done and like 20 people work their butts off, but say you don't like how any of the logos turn out at all - will you get in trouble by the staff if you "forfeit" the contest (like by not chosing a winner when the contest is done)?

Just wondering,
