The snow has been falling this season giving some good skiing and boarding this year, however if you are thinking about entering the amateur photo contest held by Loveland ski area… photographer beware. As stated in the terms of the contest…
“All entries will become the property of Loveland Ski Area and will not be returned. Contestants grant Loveland Ski Area and contest sponsors unlimited usage and unrestricted rights of any photograph submitted to the contest. Any submitted photograph may be used in products, promotional materials, or in any manner Loveland sees fit.”
This seems quite reaching and was posted as a warning today on the blog Photo Attorney. Sure it is nice to enter a contest and possibly win, but you should always read the terms to find out just what you are giving up by entering. With that in mind, what do you win?
