You are automatically protected. It is optional but recommendable that you

a. Place a copyright notice such as the one that follows:

(c) 2006 John Doe

b. Send a copy of your work and $45 to the Library of Congress for registration.

For more information read the following links:

http://www.copyright.gov/

What does copyright protect?
Copyright, a form of intellectual property law, protects original works of authorship including literary, dramatic, musical, and artistic works, such as poetry, novels, movies, songs, computer software, and architecture. Copyright does not protect facts, ideas, systems, or methods of operation, although it may protect the way these things are expressed.

Do I have to register with your office(US Copyright Office) to be protected?
No. In general, registration is voluntary. Copyright exists from the moment the work is created. You will have to register, however, if you wish to bring a lawsuit for infringement of a U.S. work. See Circular 1, Copyright Basics, section “Copyright Registration.”

How do I register my copyright?
To register a work, submit a completed application form, a nonrefundable filing fee of $45, and a nonreturnable copy or copies of the work to be registered.

so you could just put that (c) with your name, not pay the $45, and hope that you dont have to sue them!

I have read recommendations that you can write the copyright note and wait. You can always pay the registration only when you see things start going the wrong way.

By creating a work you automatically have copyright in it. You should put ©2006 <Your Name> & All Rights Reserved on all of your submissions and don't hand over the copyright whatever you do. If the competition conditions say you're give someone else copyright then don't enter You don't need to register copyright and here in Australia there is no such process (sounds like a US money making scheme if you ask me). I think it's a bit of a nerve keeping all of the entries as it's your property not anybody elses but it sure sounds like a great way of getting ideas for free.

Here in Argentina it works almost the same way. You could also check the Creative Commons copyrights
