your terms are not satisfactory. They allow you to sell the image, and that is not acceptable to any photographer, whether professional or amateur. i will be sending details to the EPUK" unfair competition grab" website for adding to their database.

I agree Sam, great way for them to profit from somebody elses work!

[MuttleMcTuttle 21]

Happens with a lot of competitions though... the BBC used to be one of the worst offenders I guess for the competition organisers it's a great way to get thousands of images for free...

Most people are so thrilled to see their photos in magazines that they don't consider what effect this kind of rights grabbing has on pro photographers who are trying to make a living from selling photos...

Better to point out these things than people be taken in and misled. Imagine you take the winning photo, and you find it plastered all over advertising their products/services whatever, but you cannot claim anything from it all, ever!

yes, but i think reporting it to some website or other is a bit OTT, i realised as soon as i read it this was the case but i dont think the idea of the comp is to make money out of your pics, more so they can use the good pics for promoting their organisation, which i cant really see a problem with

So it's ok for us to spend thousands of pounds on photography equipment enter a photo into a competition for the organisers to profit from??

 

The way it's worded they have the right to use any of the entered images as they wish not just the winning photo.

 

Totally unacceptable

 

A great way to get thousands of free photo's for there magazine and advertising though.... at the photographers expense

I understand the terms of the comp, no problem at all with the fact that they can use one of my pics if they wish, me thinks that one needs to dismount from your high horse and take a wee chill pill, far more crap going on in our sport to worry about this.

Sorry guys - maybe someone got the wrong end of the stick here - it's a genuine competition, intended for amateurs for a bit of fun, and that's all. The fact that we want to be able to use the pics in our magazine is made clear, and I think the kind of people who will enter the competition will be pleased by that thought. We don't want the sole copyright of these pics - just permission to use them them if they are good enough. Without that, we couldn't run the competition or even publish the winning pics.

 

It's being publicised in schools all over the place to get youngsters interested as well, and we have some great pics from the kids already.

 

The answer to the copyright issue is already mentioned above - if any pro or semi-pro photographer is looking to sell their photographs for big money, don't enter them in the competition.

 

Hope that helps

I think the problem is here"Photographs entered must not have previously been published, and by entering a photograph in the competition, you agree to allow SACS to use the photograph, at our discretion, at any time in the future."

Its irellevant whether pro or amateur......its a moral right.

looks like loads of free publicity world wide against having hundreds of photo's to use as you wish...which akes most money lol?

the wording is a bit send us free pics...end of the day if it's just for the mag then probably ok, but to use as we wish is sort of sounding like a scam.... maybe a defined reword?

or like it and lump it lol...................
