The definition I used is from West's Encyclopedia of American Law, 2nd ed. Yours is from Admin777 on InternetSweepstakesForum.com, and contains enough qualifiers to drive a bus of fursuiters through. I am not sure what else needs to be said.
Getting permission to publish artwork has no monetary value . . .
Did you even read my last comment? The consideration is the permission itself, not the act of giving it. If you think the permission to print artwork has no monetary value, you are welcome to try stuffing conbags with 5000 prints of Eyes of the Night without obtaining a license. Good luck with that.
Seriously, Mr. X – if I may call you that – you're just digging yourself into a hole, for no good reason. Anthrocon is not at fault for having wanted to compensate writers and artists for the use of their work. I do not even fault the board member who complained when I named the contest a lottery. Most lotteries involve the exchange of money for a chance at getting more money, or goods; the concept of artwork rights as consideration for an entry is understandably uncommon.
Where I do find fault is returning to argue the point after Anthrocon recognized that their offer did not match their intent and corrected it. That action was to their credit; yours only hurts them. Let it go.
