I'm still not a fan of the prize they're offering, but the good thing is that they're no longer claiming ownership of the submitted photos. I'm not joining or endorsing the contest, but I'm just not quite as adamant about other people participating. @Richgold: I read in a local forum (no link for now) that the contest was originally for employees only, and that they just opened it to the public this year. The thing is, regardless of whether it's an internal contest or open to the public, the original rules definitely painted the company as a bunch exploitative, rights-grabbing, greedy suits.
