Er, no. They are asked to give up the usual authors' rights for
_performance of the winning work during the contest_ (until the 18th
December 2011). It says nothing about rights for future performances.

So I black-heartedly mis-read them. I’m sorry.

"he (or she) will give up the usual authors' rights for performances

As for the request that you mention the fact that it was competition
winner in all future CD liner notes, programme notes etc., that's
hardly
an onerous obligation is it? It's only polite, not to mention
mutually
beneficial.
Ok, here’s the "forever" part.
"""
Any future performances, recordings or commercial editions of the
awarded works must
include, in program notes, CD/DVD's booklets and scores, the mention "
Winner of the 1st
International Composition Prize Machado e Cerveira - 2011", or
“Mention of Honour in the 1st
International Composition Prize Machado e Cerveira -2011”, as well as
the mention “This prize
had the financial support of the Ministry of Culture”, followed by the
MC (Ministry of Culture),
CMC (Cascais Town Hall) and CMM (Mafra Town Hall) logos.
"""
"*Any* future ... *must* include, in ... scores(!), followed by
the ... logos."
Of course a proud composer would mention this contest. But including
the sponsor’s logos? Forever??
If you don’t become famous, it’s no problem.
But imagine you’d have to credit each of Mozart’s, Bach’s etc.
principals including their coat of arms in every kind of publication?
(Ignoring that they're in the public domain now.)
I had to typeset/layout a lot of gastronomical PR stuff - it’s really
a PITA to always include all supplier logos (brewery etc.), just
because they helped paying! (Try to get logos in a printable quality!
Some of them you’ll get as a fax every time, and afterwards they
complain that’s not in color... A bunch of different logos spoils
every good layout.)
(Why does anyone care about a concerts for six organs at all? I'm
just a
humble folk musician, but I know there are great organs around
where you
don't need six organists playing at once. I can't imagine there's any
musical advantage of six small organs over a good, big one...)
There are things you can do with twelve hands, that you can't with two
... To be honest, musically speaking this looks like a fantastic
concept: the opportunity to write music for a very particular location
with very particular acoustic and sonic properties.
I can imagine very particular disharmonies due to the distance and
spreading of these organs.
But of course it might be interesting to play with "surround" effects.
