Thanks for the link. I already have a photo I am going to submit (there are probaby a lot better ones being entered) because I really like the photo.

Doesn't cost you a dime... They get your submission(s) for free with unlimited usage rights and if you happen to be one of the lucky winners you get a prize.... Regardless, they get your image whether you win or not. Not yet determined how many prizes, value, etc. I'm betting the grand prize value is not even going to be in the same solar system as what an image would be valued at in the marketplace. But...you can't really use FW Zoo images for stock because of the photo rules in place so I guess it's all relative anyway.

Good way for them to generate a lot of new pictures. No need to pay for a photographer, just recruit freebies. Kind of the way a lot of the web news is going. Try to get a free image in return for your name in print... 15 minutes of fame, nope...15 seconds.

Agreed, it's a freedie at no cost for both parties. I just emailed the authority about the reward, better not to be "free membershiet" for winner...LOL. Hope they can get sponsor just like Dallas zoo giving up hundred dollars of prize gift certificate at certain photography stores.

I will be submitting some photo's the zoo is one of my favorite places to shoot.
