   The prizes are pretty sweet, but this seems like a cheap way to increase their inventory of available designs.

   Every design submitted is available for OptimalPrint’s exclusive use, not just those of the winners, and no credit needs to be given once they have the design. What’s the point of retaining copyright in such a manner?

   “All designs submitted will be the sole property of Optimalprint. Copyright of the designs will be retained by participants, subject to an irrevocable, worldwide, exclusive licence in perpetuity to Optimalprint and its associated companies to exploit all Entries in any manner whatsoever in its absolute discretion without payment of royalties, re-use fees or other remuneration and without any credit or other obligations to participants.”
