Recently,
I considered entering a photo contest by a well respected national publication.
The idea was to use this magazine's affiliation for promotion if I was featured or won. It's pretty standard to grant non exclusive rights to a contest, this way you still obtain ownership and can promote the photo elsewhere at the same time. However, there was a sentence in the rules that included:"but not limited to our publication" So, in effect your image could end up in "dudes with jugs" magazine. It seems that a magazine could just run a contest to insure photo content for future issues and not have to pay too much.
P.S. I buy DWJ's for the articles!
