hot 99.5 baby contest

Socki, it seems to me that the only reason they have that stipulation about the professional pics is so that the submitter takes on full responsibility should there be any conflict of interest due to copyright.

Then perhaps I read it wrong.

Hello Socki,

Thank you for your email.

The pictures can be professional if the parents comply with the rules that are posted.

Below is a blurb from the rules that states this:

BY ENTERING THE CONTEST, YOU ARE VERIFYING THAT (1) YOU ARE THE PARENT AND/OR LEGAL GUARDIAN OF THE BABY IN THE SUBMITTED PHOTO, AND (2) THE OWNER AND PRODUCER OF THE SUBMITTED MATERIAL AND THAT NO THIRD PARTY OWNERSHIP RIGHTS EXIST TO THE PHOTOGRAPH SUBMITTED. BY SUBMITTING YOUR PHOTO IN THIS CONTEST, YOU HEREBY GRANT US A PERPETUAL, WORLDWIDE, NON-EXCLUSIVE, ROYALTY-FREE, SUB-LICENSABLE (THROUGH MULTIPLE TIERS) RIGHT AND LICENSE TO USE, PUBLISH, REPRODUCE, DISPLAY, PERFORM, ADAPT, MODIFY, DISTRIBUTE, HAVE DISTRIBUTED AND PROMOTE SUCH CONTENT IN ANY FORM, IN ALL MEDIA NOW KNOWN OR HEREINAFTER CREATED, ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, FOR ANY PURPOSE.


I appreciate your opinion, and thank you for listening!

Have a nice day,

Jessica

Hey Socki,

I totally agree with you. Their rule states that if you don't have ownership you can't use the photo. I do not believe that the hundreds of entries that were obviously professional were done by the parents. Therefore, they were against the rules.

What is the point of having a rule if they are going to ignore it. We should have all submitted professional pics if that was the case.

Totally unfair contest.

There would not have been 1900 photos for people to judge had they eliminated any professional photos. All they had to do was ask for a written contract from the photographer stating that the parent owned the rights to the photo.

Hey Socki,

I appreciate your feedback.

As mentioned it is up to the parents to get the info that I listed below and consent forms must be filled out.

Thank you for your opinion!

Have a great day!

And you KNOW that is

I wouldn't even know how to go about getting one from somewhere like target/JCP/etc.

Oh please be done SG.

You won't be getting anything out of it besides them thinking you are bitter I understand the principle of it, but there isn't really anything that is going to get done
