[QUOTE="LynnBodoni1, post: 2770075, member: 742647"] That's not stealing, that's transferring the copyright from the writer to Intel as a condition of the contest. Unless Intel holds a gun to your head while forcing you to sign over the copyright, it's legal and ethical. If you think that your story can sell for more money while you retain the copyright, then by all means, don't enter it into the contest, but send it to other markets. However, if you have never been published, then this contest might be a way to get published, and it's probably going to be the most money that you will get for that story. It all depends on how much you can sell the story for, and under what terms, and where. [/QUOTE]
