Utilizing the creativeness of the crowd. The more ideas the merrier. (Cheaper too)
Wikipedia defines crowd-sourcing as:
a neologism for the act of taking tasks traditionally performed by an employee or contractor, and outsourcing them to a group (crowd) of people or community in the form of an open call.
It is essentially a community-generated output (design) that involves any one interested in participating and joining a specific project. Think of it like an ad agency pitching for a company account. The only difference would be the sheer number of people pitching multiple ideas and the fact that the pitch is already a near finished work.
