[QUOTE="Photowyzard, post: 210325, member: 8344"] These contest are LEGIT in as much as they are a contest, often times thrown by "Reputable" companies like and, including NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC. If you read the fine print..... WHICH NO BODY DOES .... these "contests" are a copy right grab. When you submit your image, you are GIVING THEM THE PERPETUAL, FOR ALL ETERNITY, RIGHT to use your images as they see fit ... FREE.... FOREVER. You get a "Image taken by CHUMP Photographer" as your payment. Your chances of actually winning anything are -------->||<------------- 100 times less than that gap! You are not going to win. And, you GAVE THEM, what you thought, was your best image! So, if that sits right with you..... Go Ahead and Enter. Otherwise ... pass the word on. A good contest is one where the rights belong to you forever, you win a prize, the Contest Sponsor uses your image only to promote the contest and it isn't for eternity. GOOD LUCK FINDING THOSE.. because the whole idea is TO GRAB YOUR IMAGES!!! READ THE FINE PRINT BEFORE YOU: i) enter any contest ii) Upload to FACEBOOK iii) upload anything to GOOGLE iv) use a service like Photobucket or the like v) READ THE FINE PRINT Because, you may not know it.... by simply uploading an image to even a social media sight can result in the EXACT SAME THING... they take your image! One more time..... READ THE FINE PRINT :) PS: if you do upload.... upload a 72DPI, small image. Not a hi-res, 8 MP super image. Make it barely presentable so they can't make it bigger or print it or use it other than how you intended it to be used.... to be viewed online only. [/QUOTE]
