Contest Rules
1. Photo is the sole property of the entrant. If there are multiple owners of a photo, all owners of said photo must sign the form. Whoever submits a photo for the contest stipulates that they have procured all of the proper signatures from the owner(s) of any particular photo.
2. If a photo contains a recognizable person, that person must provide written consent to your use of the photo in this contest. For any picture containing a minor person under the age of 18 years a parent or guardian must provide written consent.
3. By submitting a photo to this Contest, each entrant grants Chesterton-Porter Rotary Club a royalty-free, worldwide, perpetual, non-exclusive license to use said picture for any purpose related to this contest or future similar contests, including publicity or promotion, in perpetuity. The entrant also agrees that Chesterton-Porter Rotary Club is granted license to use, reuse, publish and republish the same in whole or in part, individually or in conjunction with other photographs or images, in any medium, and for any purpose whatsoever, including but not limited to illustration, promotion, advertising and trade, and publication in all Chesterton-Porter Rotary Club publications and media of any kind or description, including but not limited to Chesterton-Porter Rotary Club’s website. The entrant retains all ownership of the photo and is only granting Chesterton-Porter Rotary Club this non-exclusive license.
