Support the Bill of Rights for Photography Competitions I Would you like to help in this campaign? If you would like to help here is a very easy way to do it through your website, blog, or forums that you belong to. Please provide links to the following three pages on the Pro-Imaging website - Bill of Rights http://www.pro-imaging.org/content/view/177/156/ Rights On List http://www.pro-imaging.org/content/category/21/69/171/ Rights Off List http://www.pro-imaging.org/content/category/20/68/173/ These links are very important, the more of you that can do this the higher our campaign pages will appear in search engine rankings when people are looking for competitions to enter.
Support the Bill of Rights for Photography Competitions II Here's another simple way to help. Once a week, choose a competition on the Rights Off List, preferably one that's still running, any one that catches your eye, and send an email to the contacts listed in the competition report. Where we have given judges contact details write to them too. Tell them what you think about the contest rules, or just keep it simple and tell them you've found their competition on the Pro-Imaging Rights Off List and ask them to change the rules to comply with the Bill of Rights. We know that thousands of visitors have viewed our reports, and if each of you just send one email every week it will help our campaign enormously. Why not write to competiutions on the Rights On List and congratulate them for supporting the rights of photographers, it's only fair to give praise too.
Support the Bill of Rights for Photography Competitions III Many countries have a freedom of information act that require publicly funded bodies to comply with requests for information from members of the public. Pro-Imaging believe this act should be used by the public to obtain information from cities, local governments, government departments, government agencies about the photo competitions they run. You can do this and here are some suggested questions -
Of course feel free to add your own questions that may be pertinant to a particular contest. We strongly urge everyone who is dismayed at the extent of rights grabbing occuring in the world to use the Freedom of Information Act in their country to get precise detail about the extent of it in publicly funded organisations. Pro-Imaging will be happy to publish such information.
RSS Feed We take the opportunity at this point each week to mention that if you want to keep up to date with the competition campaign, click on the orange RSS Feed icon in your browser address bar.

Contacting Us We welcome notices telling us about contests that are either good or bad. You can use our Competitions Campaign Contact Form to tell us what you've found. We are especially keen to hear about good contests that you think pass our Bill of Rights, at the moment they are more difficult to find but as the campaign continues for the long term, we expect that to get easier. We try and reply to all the notices we receive, but this may not always be possible. We thank you here in advance for any help you offer. We never reveal the names of those who notify us of competitions.
