That's a very good point wildlifesnapper, it seems a very good way of getting potentially thousands of images from around the UK free of charge or at the very least on the cheap. While I don't sell images it may irk me somewhat that someone could use my photos for profit and I would get nada. Not that I think I would win but in their wording they could use any image whether they came first or last. What if someone sent in some iconic image that ended up making them thousands. I have never entered photographic competitions before so I don't know if this is usual, I'll have to think about it now  |
I've just emailed them to tell them how disgraceful this rule is. I suggest everyone do the same and they might realise what an unethical and underhand stipulation this is.
I always read competition rules very carefully and never enter those which have such rules - they are just after free pics for future advertising.
