Half a year ago I emailed an image to a local daily newspaper's weekly reader's photo contest. It's a free paper operating in a few countries, apparently belonging to some bigger media company. I won 2nd prize, my picture was printed, I got a €50 check that covered a few beers during the weekend.. It was fun, even my boss came to my desk with congrats.
My gf was reading today's issue and suddenly she goes "is this your picture?". Yup. They cut half of it and illustrated some column.
I remember winning some beer money for a prize, but not selling any rights to the image.
There weren't any terms/conds written anywhere neither in the paper nor on their website.
I am thinking of billing them.. Do you think this would be the proper way? I am wondering what to charge.. I'm not really after money here, just don't feel good being ripped.

Actually, the only Brit surely involved was my ex-boss, who surprised me with his congrats. The paper is owned by Swedes, I suppose. But you never know..

your reward 1500, use of cam 200, lights 500, rent of a car 160, studiotime 250, sets 600, pro image editing 1500 sums up to a total of 4710. if there are people, the mask and hair cost additional 450.

rafalski :
The magazine I work for pays £50 for cheap news pics. Perhaps just phone them up and asked for a credit.
