Here are three of the most popular freelance web design job marketplaces:
SitePoint
At first glance, it may seem like just one innocent but very much high-traffic forum, it’s one forum that’s most frequented by web design newbies looking for new projects. You can join contests on making logos or creating WordPress themes. Prizes can be as lovely as a few thousand bucks to getting exclusive an exclusive contract as an in-house web designer.
99Designs
Similar to SitePoint, there are gazillions of logo making and web design contests that anyone wishing to earn a few hundred dollars can join. There are also other design contest categories like stationery design, button and icon design, t-shirt design and print design. Take your pick!
Behance
This is actually a site where you can post your design portfolio. Aside from being a topdog when it comes to allowing professionals and newbies to learn from each other’s advice and suggestions, it also has a job listing section, and design contests can be found on that network as well.

Great post. Very good info for all the freelancers out there. I hire freelancers all the time and i’ve used both those sources to find good help. I also (not affiliated) have to say Freelanceswitch.com is a great one for you freelancers to look into as well. Price is low and I’ve hired many good people from that site.
