It's another rights grab: "By entering the contest, you hereby grant to The Nature Conservancy (i) a nonexclusive, worldwide, irrevocable, royalty-free license to reproduce, distribute, publicly display and publicly perform the photographs you submit to The Nature Conservancy, and (ii) the right to use your name, city, state and country of residence in promotions and other publications." No contest should acquire all rights to all photos submitted. It's a way of building a library of free photos to use any way they want forever.
