NAUIrights theft competition
Underwater photography seems to have more competitions available to enter than any other type of photography. They are an opportunity to see how the standard of your shots compares and there is always the possibility of winning a prize of either equipment, travel or cash. Indeed some of the more hotly contested competitions only have cash prizes and there is a small bandof European photographers who make a tidy living entering and winning such events. Naturally in such competitions the image is king and the value of a winning entry is enhanced by its raised public awareness because, in addition to the prize money, many winning shots have gone on to be used in advertising, promotional editorials and stock libraries to earn more than the original prize money. Whatuse they are put to is a separate contract regarding copyright but most ethical competitions reserve the right to use winning images to promote the event and future ones. So far everything seems to be fine but imagine a competition whose rules are designed to acquire “perpetual, non-exclusive rights to use the photo in any way, including but not limited to advertising and promotional use.” Ihope, like me, you would consider such a clause as a blatant misuse of a photographers image yet such a competition does exist and is currently being run by NAUI, the thus far respected dive training agency. The competition in question has been running for 4 years and each year there are grumbles from the underwater photography community but this year, initiated by Jason Heller of DivePhotoGuide,effectively to highlight unethical corporations. a written dialogue has been taking place between My impression is that his mind is made up Jed Livingstone of NAUI and the responses to and he is perfectly entitled to take that attitude but our complaints about the rules were robust and he should be aware that the ability to communicate unrepentant and left us in no doubt that there was no is verydifferent nowadays and even a very well way the rules were going to be changed. established corporate identity can be adversely The responses were quite disparaging about affected by the mass disclosure of unethical underwater photographers who cared about the practices. image rights of those who might unwittingly enter My final concern is for the companies who this unethical competition. have been...
