>Smithsonian contest coming up - One of the rules is " No previously published works". Is a photo in the PUG considered published? Is a photo on my homepage previously published?
>One of the other "rules" is one is not allowed to contact them about the contest submissions and they won't be responsible for illegal submissions. >Ugh. >annsan the puzzled If it's appeared in the PUG, I wouldn't worry about it. To some that is previously published, but it's a loose definition. If the Smithsonian is going to physically publish the winners, i.e., on paper, I would take that to mean previously published on paper like in a magazine. One exception to this might be if someone's picture is known all over the web, but it has never been physically published. Like with a famous photographer. But that's unlikely, because they probably would have physically published it as well in some manner. The other reason not to worry is, a limited number of people see the PUG. And, nyah, home pages really don't count. Some people claim posts like this one are published. I think we need new words, because I don't consider it "published" myself. Marnie aka Doe If I did consider it published, then, boy, do I need a copy editor. ;-)
