The Competition
Student Challenge 2008
Ends 3 March 2008
Pro-Imaging and One NorthEast have had discussions about the rules of this competition. Although this competition is now closed for entries, One NorthEast retrospectively changed the rules that were detailed in the original Rights Off List report.In brief the following changes have been made by One NorthEast -
One NorthEast no longer seek to claim copyright, nor waiving of moral rights.
One NorthEast no longer claim unsuccessful students submissions other than a license permission to display submissions on the competition website. All images will be credited.
For the winning image the student will be invited to license their submission to One NorthEast for use in the Regional Image Campaign, such license appropriately time limited. and with a condition that the student will not use the submission in a way that could harm the reputation of the region.
Pro-Imaging welcome these changes that One NorthEast have made and thank One NorthEast for their response to our concerns. These changes remove all criticisms that we made of the original competitions rules detailed in our original Rights Off List report.
