the reality is that in each competition there is one obvious winner which is the organizer ;)

...anyway I don't think this particular one is bad deal according to additional explanation from Musion - the biggest problem is always who owns the copyright after you submit the entry. Hope they will post proper Terms and Conditions shortly which will clarify everything.

what noticed as big adventage is simply the fact that guys from Musion answered all questions, even if they were asked in typical "internet sarcasm" style ;)
Dear All, Please find the terms and conditions on the MAMAs website: http://www.musion.co.uk/MAMAs.html
