By signing the entry form and submitting it, however, entrants are agreeing that, if chosen as winners at any level, they grant MSU's Office of International Studies and Programs and MSU's Alumni Association royalty-free use of the winning photographs in displays related to the contest and in their printed and electronic publications. The artist will be fully credited in all such displays and publications. Entrants should be sensitive to the privacy of human subjects. Such cases would include but not necessarily be limited to ones where the artist appears to have been intruding on another's seclusion, making private facts public, or making the viewer believe something that isn't true about the subject. In order to facilitate full display options, artists must be prepared to provide release forms upon request.
Judges also reserve the right to consider geographic and thematic variety in selecting the winners.
All decisions of the judges are final.
