When entering ANY photo contest ANYWHERE!.!.!. read the fine print!.!.!.

Without you knowing it you may give up your rights to your image(s)!.!.

Your image may be cute, real cute and it may be one of them 1 in a million shots and it could become someone else's property if your not careful!. At one time here in the good ol' US of A there was a TV and publication campaign on having people send in their "old and no longer wanted home movies"!.!.!.!. Well, guess what!.!.!? Many were turned into TV ad's and commercials and the 'owners' had given up any rights to them and if they didn't like seeing what these companies did to them, too bad!. Plus, any $$ made, was not a dime shared!.!.!.

Many of these 'contest' look good but read the fine print, and maybe a few times too and have a friend or parent read it too!.!. You may be surprised on what you read!.!.!. If you have to give up ownership of YOUR image, you better think about it because you 'may' see it on a bill board some day and not make a dime off it!.!.!.

Take care, have fun!.!.
