Picture This: We can end poverty..UNDP do the right thang.

I got an anonymous email this morn, along with a few other people. Well, a lot of people would have got an anonymous email this morning, but that’s beside the point. This one was not about how to enlarge your own viagra. This one was from the UNDP.

Being the loyal duck reader that you are, you would have known about the UNDP’s rights grabbing photo comp which was discussed here.

The UNDP have changed the terms and conditions to their photo comp. You know, the one where they wanted to use your pics for whatever they want, for ever, etc etc wake me up when something changes.
Well, WAKE UP:

“Please note that we realized this discrepancy in the language on copyrights we were using at http://picturethis.undp.org/, and we have amended it to highlight the non-exclusive use/rights, as follows:

5.2 The copyright of submitted and winning photos will be owned by the participating photographers. The winning photos will be released to the “non-exclusive” use of UNDP, its Picture This partners ,Olympus and The AFP Foundation. Such use will be restricted to promotion, publicity, news, informational education or awareness usage relating to UNDP and the Picture This contest partners. Contest photographers will be able to use their photos, which they retain the copyright to, in their print and online portfolios, exhibitions, books and other publications and to disseminate – including sell – their photos to interested clients. They will be identified as the authors of the photos.”

Bonus. Another one listening. Hats off to the organisers for changing the t and c’s,
The photographer judges can come out of hiding now. Coo-ee!! move towards the light. It’s alright. You’re safe now.
