I'm holding a photo contest too. It's called "Give Grant Collier Your Photos" Contest. The rules are simple: send your very best photos to me and give me a royalty-free, perpetual, non-revocable license to the photographs.
The winner will be determined by whoever can plead and beg enough people on their Facebook / Twitter pages to vote for their photos. This will give lots of extra publicity to my company and the contest and will convince more people to give me their photos in the future.
I'll give away some token prize to the winner if I can get a sponsor to give me one. If not, I'll post the winning photo here, where it will be seen by tens, maybe even hundreds of people, and you will gain instant fame and celebrity. Then I'll use your photos forever without paying you a dime. Sound shady? Don't worry, it's not. The National Park Foundation, National Geographic, and many other reputable companies do the same thing (sorry, contests make me rant the way a blurry photo makes Stan rant).

Actually, I'm just bitter because I'm ineligible.

Oh how I so Longed for a Grant Rant... Much like my Smart Ass Comments make my wife roll her eyes! I know what you mean, I'm tired of these companies taking advantage of us. I think we need to start a movement, post on Facebook and Google+ we are the 0.5% We shall Occupy Nature!
