SYBEX.COM


A friend told me to enter some of my pics in a contest at "Sybex.com". I checked the Q&A search and didn't find much other than a BP instructor wrote a book for them (or something like that). Anyone heard of them? And does this bit out of their rules/regulations mean they get my picture should it win??
>> This image usage will be licensed to Sybex on a perpetual, royalty-free, worldwide basis exclusively in connection with the book in which the winning image appears. <<
Thanks,
Bob

  ditto.

Avoid these scams like the plague.
All of these types of situations exist to get free images, that may bring them a great deal of cash, and none to the photographer. These capitalize on the photographers heartfelt desire to be published and make money with their photography. They are bogus, bogus, bogus!
Remember: "There are no short cuts to success......not one (short of hitting the lotto or marrying into a wealthy family).
NOTHING succeeds like hard work and determination (and, of course, one has to be really good, but that should be a given).
