I am pretty sure they have changed their view on the copy write issue, no doubt due to previous protests from Club Together. I think it fair that they demand the ability to make use of any photographs submitted. What I am not sure of is condition 5 where they say that the photographs has not been published elsewhere. All my photographs are publish on my website so does that prevent me from submitting one of those photos?

As to the prize I suspect it's just for simplicity, has a bit more about it than £300 worth of M&S vouchers, at least the camera should be with you for years to come. The camera in question would be useful even to those photographers armed to the teeth with DSLR's and Len's !!!!

I don't have a problem with the Club building up a library of photographs which is what this competition is helping with. It's not as though I am going to use any of my snaps for any professional purposes.
