Interesting trend happening where magazines are holding contests to dole out assignments. At least everyone gets a fair shake instead of some photo ed handing out assignments to their friends ;).

Entry Fee? This thing is already sponsered, you can’t have your cake and eat it too.
I know they need to keep the riff-raff out, but I think it is going to keep more then that away.
“photo ed handing out assignments to their friends ;).”
you only think they are your friends. but how many call you now that you are not a photo editor?
great idea – for them hopefully!
But why do I think “This sucks … this sucks … wow this sucks even so much more” during the whole time I was reading through their submission guidelines?
I think I rather take part in the local drugstore “send your best sunset or sandcastle” amateur photocontest
