Austin said...

Can't post the photo, since I'll be disqualified if it's posted anywhere other than apple's site - before they call the winners.

just so you know, microsoft is now doing this to. they even go so far to actually use the word 'exploit' in their terms for entering.

"Microsoft's joining Apple in the ranks of purveyors of bad contests.
This one's called the "Microsoft Future Pro Photographers" contest and
all submitted work becomes the property of Microsoft for them to do
whatever they want. Funny, they even use the word "exploit" in what
they want to do with your pictures. From
http://prophoto.microsoft.avitivacorp.com/Site.aspx?cfn=Submission_guidelines_and_official_rules.html
:

"All Entries become the property of Sponsor and Administrators and will
not be returned. By submitting your Entry, you grant Sponsor and
Administrators an irrevocable royalty-free, worldwide right, in all
media (now known or later developed) to use, publish, alter or otherwise
exploit your Entry. You hereby forever release the Sponsor and
Administrators from any and all claims you might have in connection with
their use and exhibit of your Entry as set forth above. You also agree
to sign any necessary documentation to effectuate that license and
release. If you do not want to grant Sponsor and Administrators the
foregoing, please do not enter the Contest. Sponsor and Administrators
are not obligated to use the Entry, even if it has been selected as a
Winning entry."


so yeah, a healthy suggestion to not throw your work away and keep people paying for photography, since pictures are not free to make, they should not be free to take.
