Goodbye party contest

At the party we will show pictures and short film clips from this years events. But we want to show your media too so we held this competition. There are three categories:

  • Best event picture
  • Best event video
  • no limit

For all media you submit the following rules apply:

  • It must be your own work (for example picture taken by yourself) (That also includes that you still own the copyright of the picture) (also see [*1])
  • Remind yourself that the pictures will be shown publicly and also people who have not been at the event will see it.
  • Handling of possibly embarrassing pictures (for the people on the picture). We may accept such pictures under the following requirement: a.) You can name the persons on the picture. Include them in the picture description with their email address! b.) We will send then them an email with the picture and ask them if the agree to show it at the party. If they agree your submission will be accepted.
  • You agree that we can publish the work (mainly display it during the party but maybe also publish it on our website). [*1]
  • We are free to reject any submission if we feel it is inappropriate
  • You can submit as many works in any category as you like
