 This is the only thing I found at the url listed for past invision winners:
 

Entry materials submitted become the property of NewMedia Magazine and cannot be returned. No exceptions.
 
The entry fee is US $165 per entry.

also it looks like your work becomes their property
 

I cant say it enough guys. For people starting out in the developer business,

please do yourself and all of us a favor

and goto your local book store and purchase the latest edition(9th)

of the "Graphics  Artists Guild pricing and ethical

guidelines". You dont have to be a member of the Artists Guild to own

one. The 9th edition has a section on web design

and multi-media. It gives you very helpful information on how to handle

clients and charge accordingly. It is the advice of thousands of seasoned

professionals in the business. It also comes with professional forms you

can copy right out of the

book to process your clients.

Its the "developers Bible".  YOu can goto http://www.gag.org to read more about the guild.

The above company is obviously in it for the money and evidently has some reason to use you artwork if
they want copyright ownership. Theres other ways to win awards and get your work noticed and of course it
still be _your_ work.

Mrs. Angela Pallatto was quick to spam this list with her advertisement. I say "spam"
because shes trying to get money from people on the list instead of offering advice or asking questions directed
toward Flash.
Its obvious that she wasnt so quick to answer my direct questions.
