As Alan says these are pretty standard for such things. Many claim the right to sell your photo on to third parties as well, without notifying you or offering remuneration or even a credit to you.
One reason I no longer enter such competitions.

Alan, sadly there are people who are very happy to contribute to this and the glory of their snap, 'It was on the BBC!!! Did you see it???', obscured by a presenter thinking its OK.

I've submitted and had used several photos on the local weather bulletins. The submission states that they are for use in their news/weather broadcast (by inference nothing more.) I believe this differs from submissions pertaining to that link which seems to refer to the national bulletins.
Anyhow thanks for that link - I had not seen those T&C before!

John, you are obviously happy with that but had they gone to a picture agency they would have had to pay around £250. Your picture, being unique and not available to anyone else is worth considerably more.

While this isn't the same Look North as ours (think its yours Alan) their terms are different: Just "By sending in your picture you grant the BBC the right to publish it."

Community service! I doubt they have the budget to pay several weather photos each day, probably cost more than the presenter to include! Should they want to make a profit out of them then I'd think again. if they paid for them the license fee would no doubt have to double!

Yeah, that's the local Look North John. Just a very vague "By sending in your picture you grant the BBC the right to publish it." The page was last updated in 2010. That single sentence is something that is open to different interpretations. Your interpretation may be that the can show it on the weather, and put it in their local charity calendar. Their interpretation may well be as per terms and conditions quoted earlier.

GCC is Glasgow City Council in a competition for students studying photography in a G postcode. It seems to be supported by Creative Scotland, the equivalent of the Arts Council in England and the local gallery Street Level.
An exciting day on facebook.
