What Are They Trying To Prove?

I received a newsletter from Lelong about a contest that their sister site, Pretty is running. According to the newsletter, to win some prizes, we have to buy something from one of the auctions or sale on the Pretty site, wear the item, take a photo and post it on a dedicated page on Pretty. The photo with the most votes win the top prize and so on.

Now, I truly understand why such a contest was held and the main reason is to drive sales. But then why subject people to publish their photos on the web in full view of everyone?

Sure you can argue that people have been publishing photos on the internet for years but then why you throw in prizes for the best photos as determined by the number of votes, you will never know what people will do just to get their hands on a Sony Ericsson K770.
