Win or lose, I'm having fun.
... Heck, it would take me longer to walk into a store and purchase a lottery ticket than it does to whip off a contest entry. And my odds for winning a CS contest are much better than my odds at scratching off a winning lottery ticket.
And the real kicker: it's fun!
I really hope that people don't jump onboard with this. You all deserve to know you'll be paid for your creative juices. It's really not reward enough to simply enjoy doing the work.
Even worse, have you considered how participating in that kind of forum contributes to job instability within the entire industry?
Everyone considers their time worth something different, so for those who excel at business or advertising, it could be a nice income stream. The bigger payers will get more entries, which will encourage lower payers to bump up their prices.
I have to agree with Gale: I don't work for free, ever. It devalues the work of writers.I really hope that people don't jump onboard with this. You all deserve to know you'll be paid for your creative juices. It's really not reward enough to simply enjoy doing the work.

Ah, that's good. I imagine the pieces have limited use afterwards because they're specialized, but I'm glad the website doesn't try to do a rights grab.
How do you handle copyright?
Copywriters who enter your contest with copywriting work retain ownership of their work. Once a winner for your contest is selected, the winning copywriter will be prompted to sign the Copyright Transfer Agreement which transfers the ownership of the winning copywriting work to you. Once the winning copywriter signs the Copyright Transfer Agreement, you will own the rights to the winning entry.
At CopyShoppy, we take copyright very seriously - it is very important to note that you may not use any of the copywriting work submitted to your contest that was not selected as the winner.

@andiwrite: how much are we making freelance writing? Depends on what you're asked to write. It varies.I agree. How much money are you guys actually making doing this?
