Many competitions generate thousands of submissions. And technically, if you read the T's and C's, the brands now own all of this work.
Here's a recent example:
The Italian fashion brand Ellesse just launched a design competition called CREATE TENNIS ART in celebration of their 50th anniversary. The competition has a grand prize of €4,500.
And here's bullet point #6 in the Terms and Conditions.
6. Ellesse shall own the entire copyright and all other rights in and to all of the entries to the Competition. By entering the Competition, entrants irrevocably grant and assign to Ellesse all rights in their entries and agree specifically to Ellesse's unrestricted use of the same for Ellesse's own purposes in all activities including, without limitation, marketing, promotion, distribution and sale worldwide as Ellesse sees fit, without any further payment or acknowledgement to the entrants. All copyright, intellectual property rights and all other proprietary rights whether now known or in the future created shall vest in Ellesse which it shall be solely entitled to register or otherwise protect at its own expense. By entering this Competition, you irrevocably assign to Ellesse all right, title and interest in and to all such intellectual property rights. You will co-operate fully in obtaining such registrations or other protection and shall execute such documents as Ellesse requires in order to give effect to this paragraph.
When we read stuff like this, it absolutely infuriates us. We know why the lawyers do it. To protect their clients.
But if you're willing to give away all rights to your work simply by entering it into a competition, what value does it have?
For us, the answer is simple.
None.
