There's a magazine in England, I think, that offered a quilt design contest. You submitted your design (with a fee, of course) and then they chose the winner (who got a moderate prize - less than $1,000). The kicker was that they got to keep your designs and you didn't have any further copyright on them - they could do whatever they wanted. Talk about a ripoff.
