Hmmm...  I think I can golf it down a little...

By submitting this artwork, you certify...

 1. That nobody else except you has any copyright claim or trademark
    on it, nor on any character or logo it depicts.
    
 2. That you forever dedicate your own copyright to the public domain
    and allow anyone to use, change, and distribute this artwork any
    way they want, for any reason, without giving you credit.

Obviously having a more complete explanation somewhere on the site,
with a link from the upload page, would still be good.  But for the
wording on the upload page itself I think keeping it short is good.
In fact, if someone can shorten it even a little more (without making
it unclear), that might be even better.
