I agree to the terms of participation of the MUVS Photo Competition and confirm that I own all rights of use and copyright on the photos sent and that no rights of third parties are infringed by the transmission and publication of the photos to the MUVS and subsequent publication as specified in the explanation of the competition.
In the case of persons depicted on photos, I hereby confirm that no personal rights, data protection rights or the right to one's own image (§ 78 Copyright Act) are infringed and, in particular, that the persons depicted have expressly consented to the transmission of the contribution for the purpose of unrestricted and free publication.
After the competition, the winning photographs as well as those awarded a non-cash prize will become the property of the MUVS Vienna, Museum of Contraception and Abortion. When awarded a cash prize or non- cash prize, all rights to the photographs will be assigned to the MUVS without any restriction in terms of time, substance or territory. Subsequently, the MUVS will make these photographs available for free on the Internet, including on its websites www.muvs.org and www.abortion-pictures.info, to all interested media and publishers for further dissemination in online and print media, either in original form or suitably edited. Distribution in connection with promotion of products by third parties is not included in these rights. The entrants, however, should be aware that the photographs may be provided for use on websites that incidentally contain promotion of products or advertisements by sponsors or the like. The MUVS shall publish relevant terms of use for media and publishers on its website www.abortion-pictures.info, yet by no means assumes responsibility for the respective third party ́s compliance with the above.
The data obtained shall remain confidential and will not be passed onto third parties. The winners of the photography competition, including those awarded a non-cash prize, agree that their names will be published by online and print media, including the general copyright notice declaring them as authors of the photographs.
Thus, independently of winning an award, all entrants declare their consent to the MUVS presenting and exhibiting their works, copying and publishing them in a volume, and promoting the exhibition and presentation ceremony. However, the entrants have no legal claim to exhibition, presentation, and/or publishing of the submitted entries.
