This may be old news to some of you but I was looking at their photo contest just now and vaguely contemplating submitting something, until I read their terms and conditions (my italics):

Quote:

By sending us your picture, you agree to the following:
You represent that you own all copyrights in the photograph. As a condition of submitting your photo, you unconditionally and irrevocably assign all copyrights and other rights in the photograph to Four Points Media Group.
You acknowledge that Four Points Media Group may, at its sole discretion, publish or otherwise use any photograph submitted by you. Such publication or other use may occur on television, in books, in newspapers and magazines, on the Internet, and/or in or on any other medium of communication now or hereafter devised, and may be for advertising, promotion, the use of trade, and/or other commercial purposes. By submitting a photograph, you (and any other individual depicted in a photograph) consent to such publication or any other use.
As a condition of submitting your photograph, you (and any other individual depicted in a photograph) unconditionally and irrevocably waive all claims to compensation for use of the photograph, and/or any rights with respect to such use you may have under copyright law, the right to publicity, the right to privacy, the law of defamation, and any other common law or statutory claims under the laws of any jurisdiction.
You represent that you have been given the authority by each individual depicted in a photograph to bind such individual to these release terms.
You must be 18 years of age or older to submit a photo.

I don't think so!

Just a heads-up...
