Prize $$ aside, I think it's sad and more than a little disgusting that a multinational company like this won't even pay market-rate stock usage fees for images they choose. Sorry if I've opened up a can of worms here, but I've had it up to my hair follicles w/calls for artists to supply free labor under the guise of "exposure."

If there is a sufficient supply of photographers willing to provide photographs under those conditions, then what is unfair about it? This is how free markets work.

Not all value is monetary. I for one would be tickled to have a photograph of mine on an Agfa paper box.
