Preparing To Submit a Work
Participants working on art or writing should be sure to save a digital copy of the work and back it up! Digital documentation of each work must be uploaded to enter the Competition.

For physical artwork, here are tips for taking quality pictures of your work:

· Be mindful of lighting! Look for spaces with good natural light and be careful to avoid shadows and harsh light that may wash out works.

· Set the work against a clean background. Jurors often comment that busy backgrounds distract them from the detail of the work. Place pieces against a plain wall, the floor, or white paper to minimize distractions.

* 17. Materials Return
If a submission is selected as a finalist, the Competition may require that the physical work be delivered to the Competition and kept for up to six months. During that time, the work may be displayed in exhibitions locally. After the six-month period, the Competition will return the work using the contact information on the Submission Forms completed at the time of entry (or updated contact information students give the Competition). Participants release the Foundation, its employees and agents, from any and all liability for damage, loss, or misappropriation of any submission during and after the Competition.

Copyright & Plagiarism
All work submitted must be original, meaning participants must create works based on participant’s own ideas. By submitting work, each participant agrees that the work was created by the participant and not copied from any other person, business, school, or organization. Any work that infringes upon another person, business, school or organization’s intellectual property rights will be disqualified. Each participant, not the Competition, is responsible for obtaining any necessary consents and releases from people and places or property depicted in a participant’s work.

Violations
The Competition may reject submissions or rescind or cancel awards made if it is determined that a submission does not conform to the requirements listed here. Any participant whose award is rescinded or cancelled cannot identify as the recipient of a Competition award.

Awards will be given based on a submission’s originality, level of technical skill demonstrated, and the emergence of a personal vision or voice.

Participants will retain any intellectual property rights they have in their submissions, including copyright.

To conduct the Competition, certain things will need to be done with submissions, such as copying, editing, and displaying them to in order to process and judge submissions, award prizes, and publicize winning entries. To do these things, permission is needed from each participant.

By participating in the Competition, participants grant the Botham Jean Foundation (“Foundation”) permission to use submitted work(s) in a wide variety of ways as part of the Foundation‘s mission to promote creative self-expression among young people. Participants grant the Foundation a license to use, copy, change, publish, publicly perform, distribute, exhibit, or add to submitted works, for any non-commercial use. This license is perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, transferable, and non-exclusive (with the right to sublicense). The Foundation can display participants’ work(s) in any media, including online.

Further, participants grant the Foundation permission to use participant’s name, photograph or other image of participant, biographical information, and live and taped interviews, appearances, or performances given or made by participants in connection with the award, including promotion of the submission, award and the Competition. The Foundation will give participants credit when a submission is used in a public way, unless there is a practical reason that credit cannot be given, such as formatting, or if the work is being used in a medium where no individual credits are given. If the Foundation mistakenly omits credit, participants should contact the Foundation so that credit can be given in the future.

The Foundation will not pay for submissions or the use of submissions, except for any cash award or scholarship that may be granted.
