Rip off

My local paper, like many, is running a photographic competition. There are 6 prizes, £50 for winners in each of the categories, and £25 for 2 runners-up in each category.
The rip-off is that the terms of the competition state that the newspaper can publish any of the photographs, even those that haven't won a prize. Photos may also be used in advertising literature, by the sponsors.
It's about time that competitions recognised that photographs are valuable assets and photographers should be rewarded for their efforts.
If a photograph is good enough to use, it's worth paying for it. This article gives a good explanation why it's better to pay for a decent photograph than to use a free, or cheap.
