I'm not an expert on these sorts of things, but I would assume that retain the copyright for anything you post. Pretty much the same as posting it anywhere else on the internet.

A question regarding copyright
Ok. forgive my ignorance but does that fall under one of the copyright acts? also how do you prove that you were the original content creator?

Unless you specify otherwise or there is something in the terms for the website/contest/whatever it is assumed you retain full copyright of your work. On Flickr they give you the option of changing the copyright license from all rights reserved to something else where you give other people the rights to do certain things with your image.
I'm not sure about proving that you are the original author or how you would go about proving that.
