I understand it can be confusing. It is somewhat odd for the designers too. This is a different mode of designing from our usual in house methodology. It took me years to really make this a part of my routine. But I have 162 winning contests here due to my ability to get the client to where they want to be.
Generally the proper way to handle this is to guide the designer with the original idea. For instance you could say: "I really like the fence, but do not want the tree and swing." I would then go to work on making the changes. 99 times our of 100 the designer that introduces the idea will be able to get you to the destination that you desire.
Perhaps you could consider extending the contest and allowing myself and @possitivespace to refine our concepts that use the fence.
Xoops, I didn't realize I did that. Ihave Ben telling all designers I don't like the roof top generic look and that I wanted something likes a fence or yard which is indicative of my slogan. But, if I did violate a rule, sorry.
We all work very hard to develop original concepts. We can not see the other designers entries, so it is imperative that the client not ask for ideas submitted by designer to be used by another.
All other entries are blind, so until the finalist phase we can not see them. We are not allowed to copy other designers, but fonts are open to all. If you could find a font that you like and send me the name I will gladly use the font that you choose. A good site for fonts is: http://www.dafont.com/
If you could describe a font that you like I may be able to get there as well.

Fonts can always be changed later on as well.
Thanks!
