They have your address, your picture, why can't it come back with the prize?

Because they don't want to.
They can send you your prize because they have your address.

They don't NEED to keep your picture. That's what scanners are for. Most likely such rules exist so that the company doesn't have to deal with the expense and trouble of returning every applicant's photo, which could be overwhelming. If you want to enter a photo into a photo contest, either scan it for your own use or have a copy made at a photo shop (and send the copy).

Once you send them the picture, you give them rights to use it any way they want, so they will keep the original since it is the best quality copy they have.

I wonder where they would stand legally on that?? Did we sign anything to say that we wouldn't get our picture back or did they send anything stating that??

They don't want the expense of sending back all those pics.

They say that so that people who don't win don't expect it to be returned.
