I am going to have to remove the Contest Finalist status on this one.
The terms specifically state that you must be the photographer of the work in order to enter an image into the photo contest. And this makes sense when you think about it... the original photographer is the one who really deserves the credit for his or her work.
Everyone reading this:
1) Read the terms before uploading images.
2) Do not scan contact prints - photographers are artists and as such they generally do not make much money. Support them. Even if you pay a fee to buy a set of contact prints, you would still need the copyright holder / photographer's permission to make copies - this is the law. Also, you would still not be allowed to enter them into the contest; only they would.
FYI - the reason this one temporarily made it into the finalists is that the judges do not read the discussions prior to choosing winners, for this might unfairly influence their votes. But when any issues like this breach of the terms comes up, we will remove the photo. #67878

Discussions by Category: You can view photo discussions on various themes in the Community > Photo Discussions section of the site.
BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.
Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
The following truth is one of the core philosophies of BetterPhoto:
I hear, I forget.
I see, I remember.
I do, I understand.
