Isn't the submission supposed to be free of charge for real competition?
Money collected from contestants exceeds any prize declared by organizers.
The established things are sponsored differently...
As a comparison, if some job recruiter collects fees upfront for trying to find you some job, it's illegal

but it's totally different area, and could be dramatically and totally wrong...
sorry about that.

NowPublic seems to me to be sort of a scam in general. I have been approached by them for photos a few times.

A juried contest/exhibition is usually charged for. It definitely cuts down on rift-raft entrants.

As to NowPublic it's just like Examiner in the sense it's a crowdsourced medium of news. Those who write for them on NowPublic often search flickr for shots they can use in their story and then NP has a way for you to regulate the rights to that. I've handled my images with them (or more specifically the writer of the moment) on a case by case basis.

Interesting thoughts none the less.
