I have some questions:
1. Will the unselected images be published in any way without our permission?

2. Do we still own the copyright to the images after submitting them? (in the case that we want to use the images for other causes after the competition)

Hi David,

To answer your questions:

1.By submitting your photos, you need to know that your photos might be used for communications and promotions in relation to BE THE CHANGE only. And in such cases, you will be notified to provide us with the hi-res photo.

2. Yes, you still own the copyrights to your photos.

Anyways, FYI the nature of BE THE CHANGE is to provide an 'eye opener' to the public on the environmental concerns in Malaysia. If you have a picture or more, that will aid us in our cause, do send it in, and have a hand at the prizes too! :)
