quote [ In other words, if a student who applied for an award tries to print or publish their own work without saying "Property of Scholastic Inc.," Scholastic can sue. In addition, Scholastic can publish the applicant's work and sell it without giving the applicant, the original creator, any of the profits. ]

AFAIK just about all art contests based on voluntary submissions work that way though. Ok, here it's kids being exploited rather than adults, but the principle is unchanged. That's the contract you agree to: the chance for fame and riches (or at least padding your resume) for the cost of a little of your creative output.

Except that minor can not contract and can repudiate the contact their parents signed on their behalf as soon as they turn 18 in the absence of state law to the contrary.
