The term include this clause:
By submitting your images, you agree that Engineering for Life and affiliated organisations may use them in the future, free of charge.
I have contacted the organisors asking for their comments.
Commendably, the organisers of this competition, as a result of this complaint, have now agreed that all non-winning entries will be deleted after the competition and intellectual rights will be respected. Well done them!

I am writing to them to ask if they will also alter these unacceptable demands.
