I suggest you read this part of their "rules" and make your own mind up.

Effectively entry into the competition gives them the "right" to use your work (whether you win or not) in any form they like for no payment or attribution.
You are giving them a license to use your work for ever for anything.

My advise - STAY WELL AWAY from any competition which has this clause.

7. OWNERSHIP AND LICENSE. All entry materials become the property of the Sponsor and will not be acknowledged or returned. The copyright in any Submission shall remain the property of the entrant, but entry into this Promotion constitutes entrant’s irrevocable and perpetual permission and consent, without further compensation or attribution, to use such Submission for editorial, advertising and publicity purposes by the Sponsor and/or others authorized by the Sponsor, in any and all media now in existence or hereinafter created, throughout the world, for the duration of the copyright in the Submission. Sponsor and/or others authorized by the Sponsor shall have the right to edit, adapt, and modify the Submission.
