Epson Pano Competition

I received this invitation to join a pano photo contest that is sponsored by Epson. Has anybody know if this is legit? or someone try to scam photographers and reap big and easy bucks? Check this site http://www.thepanoawar​ds.com
Let me know what you think; thanks.

Try sending an email to Epson and asking.

Looks fairly honest to me.

I looked at the terms / rules and the best my non-attorney mind can understand is that they are normal and expected in that they limit their usage of images to the promotion of the event.

However, I did not see (or overlooked) the mechanical requirements of images entered, and that would be my only caution.

Over the past month or so, I received two invitations from organizations to enter two juried competitions. However, upon investigating both I discovered their mechanical requirements necessitated uploading of publishing-quality images.

One required submission of a 300 dpi file with a measurement of no less than 10 inches on the shortest side. The other required the image at it's full, native camera resolution. I decided there was no way I was about to release high quality, printable images out there into the wild.

If this contest has reasonable / customary mechanical requirements (i.e., 1000 pixels on the longest side) then I might think it looks like an ok event.
