COPYRIGHT OF YOUR IMAGE ENTERED
The purpose of copyright and related rights is two fold: Firstly, copyright encourages a dynamic creative culture, while returning value to creators so that they can lead a dignified economic existence. Secondly, copyright provides widespread, affordable access to content for the public. (World Intellectual Property Organization). The only reason your image will be on this website and printed in our year book, is to promote you the photographer. We do not individually sell images for financial gain or for use in an image bank. Instead, every winning image in the Global Photo Awards will have a link from the image to the photographer's website or email and be used in an annual book which can be purchased from this website.
THE JUDGES.
The Awards are judged by some of the world's most prestigious photographers, artists, gallery owners, editors and lab owners in the photography world.
