The rules in the USA are that for news/editorial use no release is necessary. This has not stopped individuals from successfully suing when their picture was used in a magazine (NY Times Magazine). Nothing that a minor signs is binding, so a release would have to be signed by a parent/guardian.
BR "I use a Nikon, so I must be a lawyer." From: "David Brooks" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Two years ago,one of our national horse magazines called me and aske if i had some pictures from a specific event.I did,sent them in and they called back to say they were using 2 and will mail the check(they did) I did mention that even though i knew the riders and they were under 16 years of age,did i need them to sign a release. No one knew. I did a verbal with the parents anyway and of coarse they sais yes.(kid in a magazine whoo hoo)
