As stated earlier in this thread - you maintain copyright ownership and the winners agree to not publish their entry elsewhere until one year after the publication date of the anthology.
Once the winners have been announced, any and all works not selected for inclusion become immediately available to the author without restriction.
Winning authors may describe their winning entry and share a paragraph or two if they wish with their followers when we move to the funding stage.
The beauty of this project is that we will all have help getting to the 750 pre-order level with the winners and other supporters pitching to their existing follower / backer base in concert.
This also creates organic cross-promotion potential , giving the winners a nice opportunity to grow their base through exposure to the combined community of backers - similar to what occurred to a lesser extant to the winners of the Sword & Laser and Nerdist contests.
This should be even better because all winners here will share a piece of a common project. It has Great synergistic possibilities and is likely to result in generating pre-orders for your individual Inkshares projects in addition to the anthology.
