Has anyone submitted any photos yet to the BIG PICTURE?

The Big Picture (http://www.inthebigpicture.co.uk/)

Be part of a World Record attempt http://photocamel.com/forum/images/smilies/afro.gif

Part of The Big Picture is a record breaking attempt for the largest photo mosaic in the world. To do this we need around 95,000 photos – so get adding yours!
The current World Record for the largest photo mosaic measured 562.85 m² (6,058.46 ft²) and contained 94,392 individual photographs. It was created by Foto Quelle, in Nurnberg, Germany, on 15 December 2007, but we think the people of the West Midlands can break that easily!

We're aiming for 100,000 images to be in The Big Picture. If we can do that, we'll produce a huge montage of all of the photos, meaning that everyone submitting a photo will become a joint-World Record Holder.

My thoughts exactly. It's a photo-grab.

Further, how are they going to credit 100,000 photographers? Answer: They're not. The OP and his small cadre get to keep the photos.

THEN! They get to sell the photos on a DVD. The original photographers get nothing.

I'm looking, but I cannot see anything that says they get to keep the photos. I guess they're going throught the infamous Commons license.
