Would you surrender the negatives to an organisation or club after covering, say a school event, if there are no pre-agreements to "buy your rights" as photographers?

that depends on the fine print of the competition regulations. in most cases, the photog retains the right to the photo as fair as i know, even if you win.Originally posted by Juvelyn
how about in competitions when they ask for the negatives of the pictures you submitted? [if you win one of the prizes]

also, what are the considerations when the subject
in your winning photo is someone you randomly
photographed ...
we sometimes take candid shots of people on the
street, etc - anything to worry about?
just wondering
one example to note is the Shriro Hasselblad xpan wedding photo contest. it clearly states that the photographe must have the consent and permission of the wedded couple to enter the photo in the contest. i think if the photog wins and the judges find that the winner doesn't have permission, the entry is rendered null and void immediately.Originally posted by Ian
As for street candids or shots without someones permission. This area is still problematic in many countries. In many countries it is now all but illegal to take someones photo without at least asking permission first and entering a shot in to a competition could be construed as a violation of their right to privacy if permission was not asked.
that depends on what you mean by "selling your photos"... depends on the agreement and fine print. you selling them the negatives, copyright or just a print? also, which media issit for? online or print or just for their annual report? if it's like stock photos, there's no restrictions on re-selling to another party.Originally posted by Necroist
Then, is it legal if after selling your photographs to an organization\person, you sell it again, to another person?
