I know you're just trying to instigate some shit, but that's pretty basic rhetoric for these contests.
Ever watch Daria? There was an episode with an art contest, long story short in one quote:
"So let me get this straight: you took my daughter's picture from her, altered its content, exhibited it against her will, and are now threatening discipline because you claim she defaced her own property, which you admit to stealing? Are you familiar with the phrase 'violation of civil liberties?' And the phrase 'big fat lawsuit?'"

That'd be covered in 3.a and 3.c, respectively.

Exactly. That's why entities need these rules spelled out like that. It's SOP for contests like this.

My issue isn't with 3.a or 3.c, my issue is with 3.b. I've not had to transfer all rights when I've licensed my work for a commission (I do digital distribution and prints of photographs and graphics). Some licenses are long term (10 - 30 years), others are a lot shorter (5 - 10). It keeps them coming back so work doesn't run dry, and you can ensure distribution of the work is from the commissioner and not an affiliate, or something along those lines.
