Advertisement Posted July 23, 2006 Posted July 23, 2006 Hi bill, Take a look here BBC Photographer of the Year competition. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
abrewer Posted July 23, 2006 Share #2 Posted July 23, 2006 "Bill", he said with tongue firmly in cheek, "Do you not have an opinion about this?" Finally, a contest in which the photographer retains copyright!!! That in itself is a breakthrough. My local paper here in Indy claims all rights once you send that photo flying through the ether! What a rip-off!!! Looks like fun. I'll be on the lookout for some winning shots today as I prowl the neighborhood with my dog. Thanks. Allan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill Posted July 23, 2006 Author Share #3 Posted July 23, 2006 I'll be on the lookout for some winning shots today as I prowl the neighborhood with my dog. Ah, Allan, of course I have an opinion, but I did only post the link... I too am delighted to see a recognition of copyright - it seems the BBC may be learning their lesson at last. ...and can I suggest that if you are planning to enter you may find a camera a more useful accompaniment than your dog...

earleygallery Posted July 23, 2006 Share #4 Posted July 23, 2006 Have you noticed which brand of camera they have used on the homepage? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wda Posted July 23, 2006 Share #5 Posted July 23, 2006 Your link proved quite a distraction, Bill. Thanks for the lead. David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemeng Posted July 23, 2006 Share #6 Posted July 23, 2006 Scroll down to the bottom of their page: "In accordance with section 9 of the BBC's Terms of use you agree to grant to the BBC a non-exclusive licence to publish and use your photographs for non-commercial purposes." So it's still a rights grab. I wonder if the BBC would allow me to use their images + video + drama etc. "for non-commercial purposes", for free, for ever... Somehow I don't think so :?)
