Awards will be cancelled for any entry which is ... composed

Is it even possible to take a photo that isn't composed?

The winning entrants should submit the original film...All submitted entries will not be returned

Seriously? Original film and it won't be returned? So they want you to throw a picture away in the hopes that you might win?

Kind of reminds me of an approach we had recently from a major book publisher. They want LOTS of photos. Lifetime nonexclusive international rights, including secondary uses. They wanted close to 100 photos from us. At around $7 per photo!

Something tells me they're accustomed to dealing with naive microstock suckers.

We ran their uses through fotoquote. Even at the small size of original use, the range of current fair market prices was $450 to $750 PER IMAGE. We counter-proposed with a price somewhere in the mid-range.

I don't expect to hear from them again.

Ever.

Good! :toast:

At first glance a $700 photo sale is nothing to sneeze at.

On the other hand, a $45,000 to $75,000 sale is a little more businesslike. :jump:

Does that tell everyone the value this guy is asking you to give away, just for entering? Much less for winning? :rolleyes:
