I don't know if it's legal or not (probably is) but I saw that clause, too, and I'm not entering the contest because of it - oh yeah, I'm also not entering the contest because I'm opposed to photography contests generally, but that's another story for another day. All these guys want is, for the tiny prize that they're giving out, the right to use your photo whenever and wherever they want without paying you.
