...unfortunately the organizers do indeed take a percentage of the sales, as they use their social media platform to promote and facilitate the sales with the competitors. I've since declined any jobs from those organizers due to this model and have worked with way better organizers with better deals. My friends on the other hand..

That's correct..
The event doesn't ban other unaffiliated photographers, pro or not. I'm inclined to agree that it is only one client, compared to the latter example you gave, so pretty far from a huge ethical problem. Thank you for the clarity.
Understood, thank you for this.
Yes you're correct on the worst case scenario for them. Thanks for your opinion towards the end, I can only hope the official photographers share the same sentiment on the matter.
Absolutely 100% agreed. I wouldn't agree to those terms now as well and had to negotiate a fixed price upfront with these organizers while previously working with them. The only thing I can say that sort of fights back against cheap work is improving the quality of your own work.
