The problem with web design [...] is that most [...] are not producing anything new.

Sadly, frameworks such as Bootstrap, etc., have placed many sites into the ideal of blocked sections that simply cascade down the page. Most people don't take the time or effort to break out of those standard blocks, or attempt to approach things from alternative view points and design philosophies. Cutting edge has been few and far between for many years, when created within supported approaches, the majority just go the generalized block route.

It's important to learn how to self-initiate projects and ideas, learn to create something everyday.

I don't pay much attention to "contests" these days.  But you might look at Freelancer.com

The problem with web design 'contests' is that most 'winners' are not producing anything new.

Maybe that is because I'm old, and even cars/autos, fashions, films and games all take something from what has gone before, (often the worst bits ).
