Yes, a copy should at least be better, but, it shouldn't be done at all. And yes, simple designs run the risk of similarities somewhere, but on the same contest ? I don't think this should be allowed.
If I may go back to the live property map contest which is not a simple/minimal logo. The copier gave perspective to the map, removed one house and colored it differently, but, is it still not the same concept, just modified? Better or not, is this ethical?
