NG Contest
The point is, sure, maybe you would give up the copyright IF you won the contest, but when I go back and read the rule again - they clearly state you give up copyright JUST BY SUBMITTING your image. That means you cant even submit it elsewhere - EVER!
Granting license if you win a contest is one thing, but giving up ownership of the image forever just by submitting that image? Seems to smell of 5 day old fish, as someone already said here.
I, like many of you, have entered the same image in more than one contest. With NG's rules, you can't do that - ever.
Anyway, no thanks, maybe keep my images limited to local and regional exhibits and contests. My desire is to share these works anyway, not try to get rich through photos I have taken. Even NG doesn't have enough cache if they hold a gun to my head.
