Contests that demand that the entries become the property of the sponsors are sleazy ways to reduce advertising budgets. Legitimate contests merely claim first printing of the winners, to allow them to publicize the results. Or they offer prizes equal in value to the entry. And they do NOT confiscate the rights on the entries of contestants that don't win and therefore get nothing. Anybody who wants your stuff for free has told you how much they value you, folk. I'll pass. M
