Hey photogs,
I got a very professional sounding call from a lady representing that she is the press agent for this company and the contest.  She went on to tell me that the contest is ligit but they were short on entries.  I went to the site (http://www.poetryinmotion.info/)  to check them out and was disappointed.  Tell me what you think.

I'm not a photog, but I think we're safe to say that it's a butt-fetish site.  Your photo will be used by one dude to put on his site and jerk off to. 

Oh...and no money will ever change hands.  You'll be told that you didn't win, and so will everyone else.  Don't waste your time.

The contest is probably legit but I can see why they are short on entries.

The thing that threw me was that a lady called as the press agent.  And she sounded very good, very professional!
