The fact that only Americans can win is such a shame. Such a poor decision.

Good scam -- obtain travel photos to illustrate your books and websites for free. How about paying professionals a fair price instead? No, better to appeal to the vanity of amateurs who'll give it away for free -- or the wholesale price of a cheap travel guide. You people are shameless.

It would certainly have been more transparent to put that in the rules post rather than in the fine print where many of us, including me, might not think to look. And it might mitigate feelings of unfairness if photographers were promised notice of their work's use & a copy of any used in print. That would make a difference to me.

[QUOTE=Gardyloo;17113180]The T&Cs of the entire site authorize the same use of any materials posted - text, images, etc. - just like in the photo competition rules. You agreed to these (or their predecessors) when you registered for the forums.
I'm not quibbling with the legalities but stand by my suggestion above. It never hurts to make it more clear.

A beautiful day at Aiguille du Midi. It takes your breath away with the grandeur of the glaciers and the mountains. There were climbers returning from their glacier hikes. If you look carefully, there was a climber on top of near peak in the picture.
