How to tell from a legit online photography contest and a scam?
Getting money directly from you for entry into a contest is not the only scam that some sites run. A lot of sites will use the nice images that people enter into their contests and sell them as stock photography. If you enter an online photography contest, then be sure to read the fine print, but even then some sites would never tell you that they’re going to use your images for profit. One site that I know of that specifically states your photo entries into their contests will not be used for profit, and that you give up no rights to your images by submitting them into their contests is – http://www.fotozumi.com/ Their contests are free to enter and they award prizes, I think.
