NewEgg.com is having a photo contest with some decent prizes!
Some of you may be interested and could easily win! :) |

This is why I don't enter contest like this:
LICENSES: By submitted a Qualifying Photo, you hereby grant to Newegg, its licensees, distributor, agents, representatives and other authorized users, a perpetual, exclusive, irrevocable, royalty-fee, sub-licensable, and transferrable (in whole or in part) license throughout the universe under all copyright, trademark, patent, trade secrets, privacy and publicity rights and other intellectual property rights you own or control to use, reproduce, transmit, display, exhibit, distribute, index, comment on, modify, create derivative works, perform, and otherwise exploit such Qualifying Photo, in whole or in part, in all media formats now known or hereafter devised (including on Newegg sites, on third party websites, on broadcast and cable networks and stations, on broadband and wireless platforms, and on physical media) for any and all purposes including entertainment, news, advertising, promotional, marketing, publicity, trade or commercial purposes, all without further notice to you, with or without attribution, and without the requirement of any permission from or payment to you or to any other person or entity. By submitting a Qualifying Photo, you represent and warrant that you own or have the necessary rights, licenses, consents and permissions, without the need for any permission from or payment to any other person or entity, to exploit all elements of the Qualifying Photo in all manners contemplated by these Rules.
They can use any photograph entered for what ever they want and don't need permission.
The Art museum here is running a photo contest but at least they only want to use the winning photos and not all of the ones entered. That kind of contest I feel better about entering because if they use my photo it means I got something out of it.

Thanks for pointing that out, Ronnie. I forgot to check the small print. :)
Not a great idea for an artist to give away something special. |

| My husband and I have done a LOT of business with NewEgg in the past. We will not anymore, and furthermore I wrote them an email telling them this and expressed how appalling I find it that they would cavalierly take advantage of people in that way. |

I like NewEgg as a retailer to buy stuff from. They are prompt, courteous, and have good prices.
If you take yourself too seriously about a photo contest that you refuse to enter, you'll wind up with no place to buy camera gear to make all that art that is too good to give away without attribution.

I agree! Thanks Laurie! I didn't mean to stir up anything. :) |

What does a photo contest by a retailer have to do with places to buy camera gear? I have no problem with entering a photo contest when I am not giving up all the rights to photo. I am a full time student and I do photography for the school paper and year book on the side for a little extra money. Every year they run a photo contest and it is the same deal. You give up the rights to those photos entered. They turn around and use the photos for advertising and what not. The winners get a few dollars but it is no where near what they would pay to buy the photographs. It is a cheap way to get photographs for advertisement and other uses. I believe that a lot of companies do this also. By doing this they also hurt the stock photography photographers because they are not buying stock images. For this reason I don't support such photo contest.
