a weekend away for two people during the off season? Jeez... not only do they want free photography, they're not even willing to put up a decent prize. Makes me think of the time Ted and Dougal went on holiday only to be stuck in a small caravan with torrential rain outside.

Also, where are the T&C's?

But still though.. thanks for the link

sineadw

Yeah I noticed the lack of T&Cs. At this stage I'd give my right arm to get out of dublin though..

...ducking from inevitable fall-out...

Who cares what the prize is anyhoo.
Sure doesn't it get ya out of the house and clicking!

rymus

in the greater scheme of things, I couldn't give a fiddlers about the prize.. It's the T&C's and what they intend on doing with the images is what I'd be concerned with.

"Hi

In general I would like our properties to be included in the photograph. I do not have a detailed Terms and Conditions as we would not exploit anyones images. If we receive a high quality image I would suspect that the person may be an amateur photographer and we could negotiate if we wanted to use the image in the future. "

Short and quick response from the site.

Seems alright to me.

Ownership of the interviews/events etc? Is thi claiming complete ownership of the photos? Its not is it? I hate legalese..

rymus

I'd imagine that's ownership of any media that arises from your entry into the competition. It doesn't expressly state anywhere in the T&C's that entered images become property of the promoter..

I suppose what they're at is if you gave a radio interview and took a soundbite of it to put on your own website that technically you should have to get written permission off them first.

sineadw

I think you're right. Seems ok so - just covering their arses if you fall down a hole trying to take a shot..

There's one in Temple Bar - might give it a go. Its a project if nothing else.

It means what ever you do or have to do afterwards, media wise, is their property and they can use as they see fit. If you give an interview, they can use that in their ads and you can't stop them or get paid.

They don't own the photo, but can use it on the website and/or brochure. Only the winner though

Tried the old lighthouse down in Wicklow today, but couldnt figure out to get close enough to it to bother getting a pic (the view from the main road didnt look good enough to bother!) - seems theres a long private road leading to it.
