You're basically signing over most of your rights to your pic from what I can see from the terms and conditions. Some free images for the John Hinde company! I'll pass...

Can we just take it as a given that the t&c's in these competitions mean the company running the competition have rights to the images, each and every one of these threads goes down the same route!

Er lol, results already!
I like none of the 3 pictures, they look more like paintings and not like photographs.

Those are the reults of last years competition - it looks like there's a long wait in store for anyone who enters this year!

I dunno, that achill island one, at least from the thumbnail, looks really nice, if 'nice' is what you're looking for in a picture. They're all so unashamedly digital though. Blown out cloudscapes on the lot of them.

A photograph of a horse and rider galloping across a beach under the Mourne Mountains was yesterday unveiled as the winning entry in a contest to capture the spirit of Ireland.


Well the way they've worded it to most people that would look like this years, I mean "was yesterday unveiled as the winning entry"

When you get to last paragraph all becomes erm almost crystal clear!

If you look on the site, it's pretty clear that the winners in the papers are the 2008 winners: linky
looks like they wont be in a calendar until 2010. so that means 2011 for this years entrants!

I tried to submit an image, but following the upload, I got taken to the submission page with no thanks/recognition of my entry. Anyone else experience this?

Yeah I know, but this seems a bit over the top:

by entering the competition the candidate grants to Gulliver Ireland and Nova Rentacar Reservations Limited a royalty free, irrevocable, perpetual, assignable licence to publish and use the entry in any and all media (including print and online) for publicity purposes. In particular the candidate licenses Gulliver Ireland the right to feature their photograph on the GoIreland.com web site. The candidate waives all moral rights they may have to the photograph as a condition of entry.

I think it could be classified as a competition for whore photographers ;-)

The three photos featured in the Indo article are simply appalling. The judging of most of these public competitions is a joke.
