No I don't, on both those questions. I'm sorry if this offends you so much! Look on facebook, you see it all the time. Are they cheats too?

It was just a bit of fun. Please don't spoil it for what it is.

Sorry just commenting on what is a clear rights grab.

The so called competition sucks big time.

Andy, they're a company that fill oil tanks in people's gardens. How many Photos of whales do you think they'll use?? Their website shows no animals whatsoever and I very much doubt a rights grab is what this is about.

Thanks to everyone who has looked/voted.

I think they might just be a little bit bigger than that!

The first thing you see when you visit their web site is a picture of a Lizard (or whatever it is) which fits in beautifully with their corporate colours.

It is a rights grab, read the rules, whether these rules have been made up naively or intentionally I do not know.   But certainly tossing somebody a kindle for endless photos, competition after competition, that they can make full use of and possibly even sell on is very good value for Tate Oil.

You know it's not that hard to write the rules such that the copyright of the photographers is both respected and protected (they could even offer a decent prize which would be nice)  and they would still be able to use the winning images in connection with the competitions on their web site - which makes me ask - why the full rights grab.  Are they naive and ignorant of copyright or taking advantage naive photographers in order to build an image bank for their business.  I don't know, but I do know I want nothing to do with it.

Christ I hope they won't use this competition as a proxy and I end up voting to support commercial whaling/seal clubbing/big game hunting.

Tori, can I retract my vote?  :lol

Do you ask other people to vote for you on other forums too?
Do you do the same on the foc.u photo comps which are also 'a bit of fun'?

Hey numb-nuts - if I thought that the picture was shite I wouldn't have voted for it - Tori just made me aware she was in a competition and to have a look-see.

Mind you, my kitten has gone missing and I was sent an ear-tuft in the post yesterday - so it's not like I had a choice is it?  :lol

No she didn't, she said 'please vote for me'. That in my book is canvassing. Had she simply done as you think she did and simply made you aware of the competition then no problem. As someone else said, this simply ends up with the entrant with the most mates winning! That's my point, numb nuts or not! :D

Get over it guys. You are not being forced to vote. If you don't want to support Tori that is your choice but do stop spouting such vitriol.

done.............................foc me,  just looked in again and cant believe some of the comments
 
if I can help anyone on here I will, who give s a foc if its actually the best pic, Tori will make or break in her photo career depending on the quality of her shoots, if this is just about "how many mates" then get over it, dont bother voting............you have a choice
if she can get a new ipad by us voting then good on her (and Ive never met her...........so there :b )

voted!
I like lots of other pictures as well as Tori's and was interested as to the worldwide entrants
as to all the other stuff, if Tori has read the rules & still wants to enter who are we to say dont do it!
its not like she is competing with me for a share in the £30m that I have been promised by someone in Nigeria n all I need to do for that is give'm my bank details..

as for it they with most friends wins,,, this isn't true as I have been on it a 2nd time & its allowed me to vote again (not saying if i voted for Tori or not) but this proves whoever has the most patience or a compter genius friend then the voting could be rigged....
 
either way there are some good pictures on there!

Some cracking photo's on there, I think I'll save them all and start a picture bank. Maybe use one in a Foc-u competition  :evil .
 
Only kidding.
