Read the rules: If you win a prize, they own your design. You don't, and cannot use it.
If you don't win they don't own it. They are nice that way.

Good find Marcus. Jimbo beat me to reading the 'small print', a careful man
If you are interested in entering I suggest you do the following,
a. Post a Copyright Notice on your design.
b. 'Publish' it here on SketchUcation for proof of claimed ownership.
c. Enter it to the competition BUT don't sign the agreement or sign it with a conditional footnote.What have you got to loose. If they like your design they will HAVE TO negotiate with you. However I doubt the the numbskull that thought up the competition has the brains to recognise a good design if it came up behind him and bit him in the ass, so I would not hold my breath.

It's interesting that you have to register just to look at their products. Guess I've lost my interest in them.

Thanks guys, I'm not going to enter, but I figured I'd share it with the community in case someone does (even though I know most of you hate these competitions
)...but if you do enter, I'd follow Mike's instructions -
Hi Peter,
Nice to see you back.
BTW I think I should strip the GSU Team badge from you already.
(or should it remain there?) -
Hi Csaba!
Yes please. Thanks.

Let's see...

Well, done.
As I wrote before, I hope you are happy with your new job!
