Information about the Memoriam annotations
Click on an organisation's name to see their rights grabbing terms and conditions. When we publish a Rights Off report to analyse a particular rights grab in detail, and how its terms will affect you, that organisation's name is shown in bold on the memoriam, just click on the name to see their Rights Off report.
The following information appears on each entry on the competition notice lists
Organisation name, Country, Organisaton type, Competition title, Closing date, Number of photographs entered (if known), Lost Rights Code, Number of winning entries (if known)
Each character in the Lost Rights Code has the following meaning;
- which entrants grant rights;
a = all, w = winners only, o =entrant can opt to grant unlimited rights - copyright claimed;
a = all, w = winners only, n = no - exclusive use claimed;
a = all, w = winners only, 1 = exclusive 1st use from all, n = no - moral rights to be waived;
a = all, w = winners only, n = no - rights are time limited;
1-9 = no.years, 0 = 10, n = no - purpose;
c = promote contest only o = other purposes
Note that a lost rights code = xxxxxx means that no rules regarding rights have been published for the competition.
Type of organisation can be one of the following -
- #Gov if wholly or partly funded with public money collected by governments or local authorities.
- #NonP if a registered non-profit organisation,
- #Cha if a registered charity,
- #Pnnn for organisations in the private sector
Competitions are listed in order of closing date and each competition links to a Rights Off report (if the organisation name is in bold font) or to the competition rules page if its still online. We have saved the web page containing the rules for each competition not yet subject to a Rights Off report.
It is possible to copy/paste the comma delimited competition notice list on the previous tab into a spreadsheet. We at the Bill of Rights Campaign do this from time to time to create the rights grabbing statistics.
