Ffotogallery get some answers..

David Drake from fotogallery in Cardiff has been chasing the Cardiff bay competition organisers, and things are looking up….well, at least the organisers are being a bit clearer about things…they still get to use any and all pics for promo purposes, even if ‘they’ are non profit making. But at least they are clear about it:

“Thank you for getting in touch, I’m sorry that this has caused you a problem. We altered the wording from previous competition T&Cs, but after reading it again I can see why some may be concerned.

However I can confirm that we have no intention of selling them on to a third party. The Waterfront Partners are a non profit making organisation, we put that sentence in the T&Cs because previously we have turned the Visit Cardiff Bay leaflet artwork into adverts and we wanted to make sure we could do that again.

“All we wanted to do was to show the Bay in a new light – maybe get some fresh new ideas and move away for the traditional images used for tourism literature. I am happy to change the T&Cs, if you think it will help, would this be ok?

By entering the competition you are agreeing that your images can be used on Waterfront Partners promotional materials. These images will only be used by the Waterfront Partners; they will not be sold to a third party.

But just to let you know we have also had some great feedback from camera clubs, and photography enthusiasts who are excited that Cardiff has another competition with such great prizes, so I hope that we can resolve this so that we can continue to run the competition on an annual basis.
