I will 100% design something for this theme, though probably not for the competition

those rules really have a bitter taste guys - especially for all designers, who want to take part :/

to complete my thoughts:

As a designer, you don't necessarily have the time to design for your design job AND design a new thing for a competition for a team that says a rule for entry is to only ever give the design to them and not use it for your job. It puts a bit of pressure on us because we're like: fine, I either try to work more than I might have the time for and then I don't even have control over what happens to my set or I don't  overwork myself but can't participate in competitions. Because let's  face it, no designer would ever be ok with sending in a sub-par design  just to participate in an event because they don't have the meanings to  make something up to their standards. (Not to speak of that such a  design probably wouldn't even be considered a "valid" entry as it  clearly would look like the designer did not care to do something solid - especially as there is enough reference material around to really  compare it.) Of course this doesn't comply with every designer and their view on this, but I feel like as a designer you kind of get in a place where you might find yourself unable to participate or compete in the usual VP environment because one team wants to profit without ends and not see the joy of getting something for the whole community and just have their own (gifting) agenda in mind.

(If you think it's harsh on ET, I only started getting this view after seeing how they kept working towards this direction despite players announcing their discomfort with how ET works. As a designer, I feel a certain responsibility towards all of VP and I don't want to support a team with such a behaviour, when I feel like it hurts some people - this being normal players and designers alike. I wrote this whole statement to answer Bailey on why I thought this to have a bitter taste and thought some of you might be interested in the whole workings behind this too.)

I feel this one, sadly.
And I think it only ends up hurting ET in a way, because the sets I make for the design comp is BARE minimum and honestly I put so little effort into them because I don't have the time to. Designing for VP takes all the time and inspiration I have. Which leaves you with sets consisting of 6 items or so that you can only really use as a random code because of the low item count.
Being in SMT I have a respect and understanding of WHY you are doing this, and why you need to be able to use the sets yourselves, because it is how you entice people to actually give you good sets, but the competition is so not suited for (some) badged designers. I wish you could have some sort of exception to the rule here.

yes, but then again, there are teams on every server and there is an abundance of code sets on all servers for all teams to use. But if you only want to use certain designers or certain sets and only what you like and not sometimes go rummage through older sets, you will end up in a pickle when it comes to sets. Let's be real, I've seen no one cry about a set being used as a code here a year after it was released on another server, because a team suddenly came to the need of a new set. And I mean, other servers make do with that system too, don't know why it troubles only one team on EN that much to do like everyone else. Like, yes, you want new stuff, but for most players everything is new if this is their main server and I feel like it's super ungrateful to go like: we only use stuff that has been designed less than 3 months ago. (Because there still are commissions for teams out there where the ask designers personally, so it really isn't like no one will design for a team.)

they can
but you can't design something and then afterwards use it for a designer related set but have to give it to ET (that's not possible for everyone regarding time investment, which is one of my issues)
