Photo competitions and image appeals are notified to us by our contributors from around the world. Listed below are some photo competitions or image appeals promoted by the above organisation which have not met the standards set out in the Bill of Rights. If the terms and conditions of a contest or appeal fail to meet the standards set out in the Bill of Rights the organisation is added to the Rights Off List and a report such as this produced. We have listed in this report the terms and conditions which failed the Bill of Rights to help the organiser carry out a review. The extracted terms and conditions are shown below in italics. For advice on why failing to meet the standards set out in the Bill of Rights is a serious issue please read this article. If at some future date a competition organiser decides to join the Bill of Rights Supporters Group, thus ensuring that all their contests will comply with the Bill of Rights, Rights Off reports for that organisation will be unpublished. The purpose of the Bill of Rights Campaign is to provide education to the public about the value of rights and to encourage photography competition organisers to adopt the ethical practices set out in the Bill of Rights. ### Hit The Road Closing Date 12 August 2008 RULES "In consideration of entrant's submission being included in this Sweepstakes, each entrant hereby grants to the Sponsor a non-exclusive, irrevocable, fully paid, universal license in perpetuity to use, copy, sublicense, transmit, distribute, publicly perform, publish, delete or display such submission, or any portion thereof, including any derivative works, in any media now known or hereafter devised without any further right of approval or compensation.

The Bill of Rights Standards for Photography Competitions
Competitions which meet all the standards set out in the Bill of Rights do not do any of the following - We have written an Organisers Guide to the Bill of Rights to help organisers draft terms and conditions that respect the rights of entrants and at the same time provide legal protection for the organiser.
