You

in all photos you enter.
Photographers
must have sufficient permission of any recognizable
persons appearing in the photograph to be able to
grant rights to display the photographic submission
online or in printed materials.
Photographers
retain ownership of all copyrights. However, by submitting
an image for entry in this contest, you automatically
shall and hereby do (a) give NWRA a non-exclusive,
non-transferable, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable
license without charge to reproduce and display the
image in any electronic, optical, physical, or other
medium, to modify its size and resolution, and to
use your name as the photographer, indefinitely in
any media without notification or compensation; and
(b) dedicate the low-resolution images to the public

the following two paragraphs.
All
entries selected for inclusion in the NWRA
Refuge Image
Library will be published online in a searchable
image gallery and made available for public download
at 72 dpi at a size 4x6 inches. We will create thumbnails
and a medium size image for easier viewing.
Photographers
may provide additional information for images in the
online gallery, such as an email or website address,
to allow contact by those seeking further information
or a higher resolution image.
A
print quality copy of any image chosen for the Refuge
Image Library may be used, with appropriate attribution,
in NWRA publications (such as newsletters or reports)
without further notification, although NWRA will make
an effort to notify the photographer prior to the
first print use of the image.
NWRA
will not release the print quality files for print
use by others.
Images
will remain in NWRA's Refuge Image Library indefinitely
at NWRA's discretion.
