Of course that's up to I thought about this and there were some competitions where _all_ entries became the property of the person/company running it, usually image libraries. I thought this was a bit too much. I think for others, where they payment, or 'prize' is simply some gift vouchers or even a mere $100.00, my way of thinking was that this would be up to the individual photographer to value their own work. Whilst I may not myself pariticipate in such a contest, others may feel it a good opportunity to get published, perhaps some practice at a subject they have difficulty with, or even just a fun subject where the prize is not of concern. I would very much like to hear from anyone else on this and if the sentiment is to remove such contests, I will do so. I really would not know where to draw the line.
