A "Rights On" competition

Global Photography Awards worked with Artists Bill of Rights to ensure entrants' rights will be properly respected, as listed in our Principles for Rights On competitions. Global Photography Awards will also preserve metadata and authorship, in addition to preserving image integrity, to every extent possible. View their terms for complete information.

The Artists' Bill of Rights wishes to thank British Airways on behalf of all those who reached out to them regarding the terms and conditions of their "Inspire Us" competition.

Although the terms do not fully comply with our Principles, they do represent such a significant improvement from the original that you may wish to consider entering.

Under the new, revised terms, only the winning image may be used for unrestricted commercial use by BA and its partners. Our understanding is that non-winning images will not be published or used in any way. If you consider this condition acceptable, you may wish to enter. The choice is always yours.

See our revised report for details.

The Competition

2014 saw the first year of the competition, and was a great success with 2233 images entered from around the world, culminating in a stunning first collection of the top 101 images. The collection was published in a beautiful coffee table book by Momento Pro.
