Oh I dunno Rupert. It would be completely impractical to ask permission. What would you do - scan every photo to make sure that there isn't someone who didn't give permission in the background somewhere?

Just ask for permission when filling in the entry form. And group photos don't need permission from everyone (like the unknown bloke caught in the background) so long as you aren't naming them.

Yes, the OA needs to be making sure that competitors don't complain about having their photos taken and published.  The first paragraph of the NOR quoted by the OP does that just fine and is unobjectionable.

It's the second paragraph which purports to take exclusive rights that is on the nose.
