djelibeybi Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 Oooh! Cheers for that, Albert! Looks like a trip to Graves Park for me! If, like me, people are wondering where the rules are regarding digital entries etc, they're on the entry form!
mr chris Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 Hmmm, so they want your entries - which can't be published anywhere else - and reserve the right to use any and all entries for their own publicity? No thanks.

Albert T Smith Posted March 19, 2008 Author Posted March 19, 2008 Everyone can not always be satisfied. But everyone will be pleased to know that. To give everyone else a chance, I've decided not to enter on this occasion! mr chris: Please enter. Will someone make the link below work please. I don't know how to do it. Thank you. http://www.cpresouthyorks.org.uk/adobepdf_files/compentryforms2008.pdf
ImpInaBox Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 Here are links to the entry form itself and to the page that talks about the competition. Those terms are not all that unusual but they sure discourage professionals from entering don't they!

I don't know any of the judges!!
DaFoot Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 Is that an unusual stipulation then? Unfortunately not. I have a sneaky suspicion that these 'competions' are often little more than gathering publicity photos on the cheap.
Albert T Smith Posted March 20, 2008 Author Posted March 20, 2008 Unfortunately not. I have a sneaky suspicion that these 'competions' are often little more than gathering publicity photos on the cheap. I would suggest to anyone who endorses similar suspicions as the above posting. Please do not enter the photographic competition.
jezzyjj Posted March 21, 2008 Posted March 21, 2008 Is that an unusual stipulation then?Sadly no, as it's a great way of ripping unsuspecting photographers off. First thing I do when ever I see any competition like this is check whether it's a thieve's charter.
