I respectfully disagree. The non-exclusive print rights to the work submitted is the consideration in this case.
The words "win" and "drawing" indicate to me that it is a game of chance. I considered using the word "raffle", but that word is commonly understood to mean to a drawing of numbered, usually cash-purchased tickets.
This post is not intended to be critical of Anthrocon's policy, which I feel promotes the creation of worthwhile material. I personally won a Supersponsorship in 2007 after submitting this article, so I appreciate its value.
Anthrocon is a not-for-profit organization and so the promotion of its games of chance is not subject to FCC regulation. Now I think of it, though, it's possible that the drawing itself is subject to state regulation; in particular, it may be a "raffle" under this law (such games shall include lotteries). I am not an expert on Pennsylvania gaming law, so you should take that with a grain of salt.
