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ensuring that all their contests will comply with the Bill of Rights, Rights Off reports for that organisation will be unpublished.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. ### Magic London Competition Closing Date 26th June 2009 RULES 3.4 You irrevocably grant to Magic, the relevant Parties (as such term is defined in these terms and conditions) and their affiliates, the unconditional and perpetual right and permission to copyright, reproduce, encode, store, copy, transmit, publish, broadcast, display, publicly perform, adapt and/or otherwise use or reuse (without limitation as to when or to the number of times used), the Competition Participant's Submission in any media throughout the world for any purpose, without limitation, and without additional review, compensation, or approval from you or any other party. 3.5 If you enter this Competition, it may be necessary for us to provide your personal information to the promoters of the Competition or to others that are involved in the organisation of the Competition or the Prize-giving (the relevant ‘’Parties’’).

You can help the Bill of Rights campaign by complaining to the organiser urging them to change their terms and conditions. If time is at a premium for you we have prepared a complaint email which you can copy and send to the organiser. The Bill of Rights campaign depends on your active support, your help will make a difference. Updated on 2nd July 2009
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.
