Can Anyone Use An Extra $15k

Just saw this announcement come across my feed. The weather channel is running their annual photo contest. Haven't had a chance to read the fine print but it looked interesting.

What does this mean?

 

@nerwin I read that to mean if you get hurt trying to take a shot for this contest they aren't liable. IE: You stand in front of a tornado trying to get a last second shot, and get transported to the Land Of Oz, don't look to them for a return ticket.

 

I hate it when they word things in such a way that it's confusing to understand. I guess I'm just not smart

 

It's a shame that just because the sponsors have deep pockets, people would think that they should pay because they (contest participate) acted stupid.

 

It's this type of crap I don't like in contests:

Basically, they can do what they want with your photo for 5 years and not compensate you at all.

By their own wording, that would only apply if you receive a prize. If you don't, sue the bajeezuz out of 'em.

 

I mean $15,000 would be nice, don't get me wrong! But not sure if it's worth the hassle to bother with their shenanigans.

 

Seriously???? You guys must be way better than I. I'd gladly give them one of mine for a "lifetime" of use for $15k. I could have a nice shopping trip for equipment with $15k.

 

Except that you'll get like $250 after taxes.

 

Forget the photo contest I want to do your taxes, if you'll give me 50% of what i save you.

 

The joke's on you! I don't do taxes since I don't make enough.
