Attention SA podcasters

Steven Davis, from Apple SA, has sent us a tip about their South African podcasting competition.

They're throwing (along with 5FM, Mini, and Coca Cola) R250 000 worth of prizes at the event, which calls for all South African wizards of the art of podcasting to submit their work for public review.

The site goes live next Monday for uploading/downloading - so get your best effort ready for action - pronto.

Check out: Getpodcasting.co.za - for more info and to get on the wave.

Hmmm is it just me or does this from the rules strike one as a tad draconian?

(b) each winner, by acceptance of prize, except where legally prohibited, grant permission, in perpetuity, for Sponsor and those acting pursuant to Sponsor’s authority to use his/her name, photograph, voice and/or likeness, and videos, recordings, prize information, and Entry Materials (and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Official Rules license the use of the Entry Materials which may be altered, changed, modified, edited, used alone, together or with other works, and/or used in distorted, illusory or composite form, as solely determined by Sponsor) for advertising, trade and promotional purposes without further compensation, at any times or time, in all media now known or hereafter discovered world wide and on the Internet without notice or review or approval. All Entry Materials will be deemed a work made for hire under the copyright laws of South Africa, but if it cannot be so deemed, then each individual irrevocably sells, assigns and transfers to Sponsor all of his/her right, title and interest in and to his/her Entry Materials, including but not limited to all copyright and trademark rights, in South Africa and worldwide, therein, for valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged.

Yeah - read that fine print carefully before you hand in any work to a competition of this nature folks.

Just keep yourself informed of what you're letting yourself into legally.
