I think you should interpret the clauses in the context of the competition. Advertising, promotion and exhibition should be related to the competition.
And if your entries are lousy, do you really expect anyone to want to use it?
Photo contests, like any other kind of contests (eg essay competitions, children's art drawing competitions, even marathons as held by Stanchart), are designed to create buzz and publicity first and foremost. If you think they come into this thinking they will get a bunch of juicy photos they can use for the next 10 years, all it shows is you have never worked in Marketing.
Well, it's obvious you haven't, and don't understand how corporates operate. Else why would you have the idea that corporates are so desperate to get your amateur images?
Perhaps you don't realise the t's and c's haven't changed from the film days, when people sent in 8x10's by post to take part in photo competitions. You must be thinking they were also desperate to hoard 8x10's back then for their corporate image bank too.

seems like you only feel that only the winning image are good.
I suppose you are a photographer yourself? do you even know how the judges for the competition are?
are they professionals in photography? do they know anything about photography?
How sure are you that the winning images are the best among all entries and not just some image that the judge (which could just be some executive from the company) went "wow" due to his/her personal preference.
And from what you've been saying so far, you don't seem to have any respect for your own work. :thumbsd:
Hey Mr known all corporation operation, is that ALL you know?
Yawn.....you have anything else to say? Anything at all? zzzzzzz.......
Yawn, yawn, yawan...

A: look at the fish in the water, they must be very happy.
B: how do you know? are you a fish? i'm not a fish, i couldn't say for sure if they're happy. perhaps they are alive, and perhaps they are swimming around, but that's all i can see, and that's all i will say.
A: you obviously know nothing about fish and how fish work.
B: do you? what proof do you have that you know about fish and how they work? just your mouth saying it?

I can tell stories too. How about this?
Someone who has no idea how corporates work, what Marketing does, thinks corporates are out to hold photo competitions which are fronts for amassing photos on the cheap so that they can be used for corporate marketing purposes.
And as a result, she doesn't join any photo competition, and makes it her mission in life to highlight any competition where there are any clauses which are suspect, and makes it her quest to dissuade all potential contestants from joining any such competitions.
But she has never produced any proof to substantiate her allegations. Ie that corporates are out to screw photographers for free images thru photo competitions.
How's that?

Cut the flames guys. Here is something more constructive for any organizer to follow.
