Photographs will be
accepted only from the original photographer.
You must be the sole
author and the owner of the copyright in all photos you enter.
Photographers
must have sufficient permission of any recognizable persons appearing in the
photograph to be able to grant rights to display the photographic submission
online or in printed materials.
Photographers
retain ownership of all copyrights.
However, by submitting an image for entry in this contest, you automatically
give NWRA permission and rights to store, display, and use the image, its
thumbnails, and your name as the photographer, indefinitely in any media
without notification or compensation.
All entries selected for
inclusion in the NWRA Refuge Image Library will be
published online in a searchable image gallery and made available for public
download at 72 dpi at a size 4x6 inches. We will create thumbnails and a medium
size image for easier viewing.
Photographers
may provide additional information for images in the online gallery, such as an
email or website address, to allow contact by those seeking further information
or a higher resolution image.
A
print quality copy of any image chosen for the Refuge Image Library may be
used, with appropriate attribution, in NWRA publications (such as newsletters
or reports) without further notification, although NWRA will make an effort to
notify the photographer prior to the first print use of the image.
NWRA
will not release the print quality files for print use by others.
Images
will remain in NWRA's Refuge Image Library indefinitely.
