Re: Defining previously Published for a photo contest
Hi Ann ... I have a few pics for that contest, and was concerned about them having been put up on my web site and that one was in the PUG. I sent an email asking for clarification and received TWO replies, one saying that if it's on the web, it's considered published, the other taking a different POV. I'm gonna submit anyway ... I think I saved the reply that said the pics were not considered to be published. However, you really shouldn't enter. I'm gonna win in all categories ... maybe you can work on perfecting that beef stew recipe LOL Now I'm gonna get more hate mail about how condescending I am, and how my ego is so friggin huge, and how I think I'm God's gift to photography. Well, it's all true LOL and it's all done with old cameras and outdated BW negative film LOL shel Ann Sanfedele wrote: Smithsonian contest coming up - One of the rules is No previously published works.

Hi, Ann Sanfedele wrote: 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? If you show it to your friends, it's published as far as British law is concerned. It has become available to others by an act of the owner. 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. Looks like one to avoid. Bracket it with the enter and lose your copyright because we will take it over types. Anyway, Shel says he's going to win and we know that _has_ to be right. gringringringrin mike
Re: Defining previously Published for a photo contest
No and no. Previously published is a photo in a consumer magazine or other format that was on sale to the public. Unless someone is paying to see it, it is not published.

Re: Defining previously Published for a photo contest
The PUG is an informal sharing of photographs, much like showing it to our neighbor. There is no compensation, therefore it is not published.

I recall haiving this discussion with Igor (our man at Komkon), and that was his interpretation also. I think that anything that is put on you own website could be interpreted as being in a personal portfolio, and hence not published, but it also depends on who is doing the interpretating..

Is a photo in the PUG considered published? Is a photo on my homepage previously published? My guess is that provision is there to protect the Smithsonian against copyright infringement lawsuits from other publications. Where you retain all rights with anything you submit to the PUG, you just give them permission to display the image, I would not consider it published. I would get a complete set of rules from the Smithsonian before submitting, paying close attention to what rights you are signing off by submitting an image.

Re: Defining previously Published for a photo contest
I sell a lot of photographs to magazines. I have never had a problem with previously published unless the photo appeared on a printed page in another mag. No one that I know worries about photos that have appeared in obscure places on the net. Thus, PUG photos are not published, at least not in my world.

Re: Defining previously Published for a photo contest
In my wildest fantasies I can't imagine that the Smithsonian would consider a photo that appeared in the PUG to be published. I wouldn't even raise the issue. Send it in.

Re: Photo Contest
1) The contest is for 5 flower images, so you can show a little thought and put together a series of decent images. Any gimp can take one decent image by accident but putting together a mini portfolio is more of a challenge and perhaps will help show a bit of your visual style. 2) You can put whatever images you want to on your calendar if you win. The choice of images for your calendar is up to you and not related to the contest. You can and will be able to put an image per page on your calendar if you win. 3) Joining usefilm.com is free. 4) Participating in the contest is free. 5) The donations have nothing to do with this contest, they are for members who use and enjoy the site to help defray the costs of hosting a large site. They are completely VOLUNTARY. Hope that cleared everything up. al Ann Sanfedele wrote: Al Shaikh wrote: I thought you guys might like a little contest.

Paul... Comm Arts is basically a trade publication. My wife works at a printing broker and they use Comm Arts for ideas for designers that come to them with projects...designers on their own use it all the time. It's a very nice piece. I look forward to thumbing through it every year. The photography is, of course, outstanding, because it's all been published (although they have an Unpublished category as well for students).
