[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 644101, member: 9240"] I was wondering how many people here enter the odd photography contest, particularly if you otherwise market your photography for licensing, purchase, etc.? The reason I ask is that I have recently gotten into drone photography and am studying for me FAA credentials, and after posting some work to my Facebook page with tags for the drone manufacturer I was asked if I was planning on submitting something to their contest. First place could get me $500, and two second place prizes are $250 each. So I went to the website and read the terms and conditions, which read like almost every other contest out there... [I]By uploading or otherwise transferring or submitting the UGC ("User Generated Content"), you hereby grant to (manufacturer) a [B]perpetual[/B], non-exclusive, worldwide, unlimited, irrevocable, [B]fully sublicenseable, transferable, assignable, [/B] [B]royalty-free, fully-paid right and license to use the UGC,[/B] including to record, reproduce, copy, modify, adapt, publish, display and prepare derivative works, incorporate other works into, publicly perform, publicly display, distribute, broadcast, telecast and otherwise exhibit, transmit, edit, and otherwise exploit the UGC, in whole or in part, whether or not within or in connection with the (manufacturer) Network Materials, for any purpose in any form, media, or technology now known or hereafter developed or created, including, but not limited to, the Licensed Uses.[/I] The bold text is what bothers me the most, because it applies to [B][U]every[/U][/B] image submitted, not just the winners. I tend to look at these as free content grabs and avoid them like the plague. Anyone feel differently and want to try and talk me out of my opinion? [/QUOTE]
