BSG Art Competition 2024 Terms and Conditions
1) The theme of the BSG art competition is geomorphology and is open to individual interpretation.
2) Entrants can submit up to two images through either the BSG Facebook account, Bluesky feed, Twitter feed, or via Instagram by tagging @BSGeomorphology /@bsg-geomorph. ALL ENTRIES MUST USE THE HASHTAG #BSGAC24 to be considered. The BSG may subsequently contact entrants to supply a high resolution copy of the image.
3) The competition is open to all up-to-date members of the British Society for Geomorphology (non-members’ entries will be disqualified).
4) Each entry should be marked with where the photograph was taken or what inspired the art.
5) The competition closes at 23.59 on Friday 10th January 2025 (UTC).
6) All entries will be judged by the members of the BSG Communications and Publications Sub-Committee plus the Vice Chair of the Outreach Committee. They will shortlist the top three images and select their favourite entry; the winner will receive a prize of £100 and two runners up prizes of £50 will be awarded to the other two shortlisted entries. All three will appear in the BSG biannual newsletter. Our decision is final and no correspondence will be entered into. The prize is non-transferable, non-refundable and non-changeable. Competition winners will, in the first instance, be contacted through the Bluesky, Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook accounts with which they submitted their entries or via email.
7) All entries must be the original work of the entrant and must not infringe the rights of any other party. The entrants must be the sole owner of the copyright in all images entered and must have gained permission of any people featured in their entries. Further, entrants must not have breached any laws when taking photographs.
8) Entrants will retain copyright in the images that they submit. By entering the competition all entrants grant the BSG the right to use the images on publicity material for the society and on the BSG website and social media sites. No fees will be payable for any of the above uses.
9) By entering, entrants will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by these rules and the BSG reserves the right to exclude any entry from the competition at any time and in its absolute discretion if the BSG has reason to believe that an entrant has breached these rules.
