Nice I saw the contest but they say "The rights to ownership of entries that win prizes will pass to me." I can't give rights on my images like this even if the prize is good. I did several other images like this though did not posted. Followed ! Cheers :)
Thanks, appreciated that you mentioned the contest to me and I think it's a very cool idea. But as said in the description @benjojo specifically says that the winner is donating the entire copyrights, without actually saying for what the image will be used. I posted a comment to him giving my opinion about that. He answered that there is nothing weird about selling art, which I completely agree with. But it is not because you buy an artist piece of art, that it gives you the rights to print and sell posters of it for exemple. To me there is a major difference between buying an image for a specific use and buying the entire copyrights of an image. The difference is maybe subtle to people and maybe I am biased by my profession, but that is the way I feel it. It is also a critical point and one of the main reasons it became more and more difficult for professional photographers to survive recently. Clients don't consider rights of use anymore, they think that hiring a photographer is giving them no limits about using the images produced during the shooting. That is an interesting subject to see how the blockchain technology is going to help artists about that though.
Lol
Seriously! Check out my feed or @benjojo for more!

If you won they would essentially be buying the rights. Sounded like a good deal to me! :)
