I don't know whether these "contests" are legitimate or not. I've entered
only two, one sponsored by CompuServe with some very attractive prizes
(which I, unfortunately, did not win), the other co-sponsored by American
Photographer magazine.
The CompuServe contest was thoroughly legit, judged in a timely manner and I
couldn't seriously dispute any of the finalists, tho' I wasn't among them.
;)
Winners of the other contest were supposed to have been announced by March
2000, but to date the website has not been updated and the entire affair
appears to be in limbo. No entry fee, so no loss.
But I won't send hard copies of my images to any contest of unknown origin
or sponsorship.

A co-worker of mine entered a photo he had taken in a 'contest' that he
found on the internet. It's at some place called the International Library
of Photography. Anyone ever heard of this, and is it ultimately a scam of
some sort? The photo my friend took can actually be seen here:

This photo was taken with a Fuji (or equivalent) throw away camera. Right
place at the right time.
