Will I get sued if I get an image from a search engine then Live trace it in illustrator to make it a vector graphic and modify it a bit?

I just don't know, but I believed that every contest holder wants a design that is unique and original. The Idea must be from your own.

your work must be an original work of your own, you can be inspired by other's work and come up with your own unique concept, but not copy/ trace them.

You can get sued for using images that don't belong to you. But the whole idea of design is to create something that you have thought up on your own. Like "Angel" said you can be inspired from other peoples designs but to copy there design is not right. I know alot of design are alike or they are going the same way of design styles. But it's up to you to follow those design styles or try to create your own new style that people would like to recreate with there designs.

My advice is to try to be different and don't follow others.......and in the end it will pay off.
