go baby go

Just to point out that its another contest which claims the ownership of the pictures...(not just the right to use, but sole ownership) Must even give up the negative/film (not just winners, but all participants). So what about copyright?

And no mention of digital pictures?

Then again, prizes are attractive?

take what ? go middle east

Jed · 1st March 2002

Hmm... there was a digital category last year. This year, the fact that winners must submit the negative/positive suggests not... who knows... I've got one I want to enter, and unsurprisingly enough it's digital... might ask them...

I might just enter anyway, and then IF I do win something worthwhile, then I'll get the file converted into a neg/tranny.

has anyone checked with Great Eastern if they will accept digital prints?

Jed · 2nd March 2002

Yes, somebody please do and let us know... a lot easier for someone in sg to check than for me!

ninelives · 2nd March 2002

Composite photographers, multiple printing/exposures, and images manipulated (electronically or otherwise) are excluded from the competition.
