A lot of noise has been made about 99 Designs recently. And I won't add to it about the virtues and vices of the platform itself. However there is some information I think it's valuable for authors to know: Recently the service has add an agreement that stipulates that all followup work gained from a contest must be done through the sites 1-1 platform, which means that 99 Designs will take 10% of every following transaction. That charge is added on the clients end NOT the designers. So just FYI if you're thinking of using 99 Designs to find designers, you'll be paying an extra 10% for the next two years on all of your design work.
