Is this how the club stocks it's photographic library by putting on these competitions.
I entered a similar competition last year but never heard anything more about it. Then when the new handbook arrived this year low and behold there is my photo of a cl we go to on page 281.They had used it on the introduction page to cl's. No mention of it being supplied by a member and no letter of thanks for my entry.

Maybe they can't identify the photographer 😉😉
Its amazing that thousands of £'s can be spent on a rebrand but an acknowledgement for a photo is omitted 😕😉.
I notice Rowena doesn't say anything about copyright or what the images would be used for, just showcasing. What does that actually mean?
Too difficult to post a photo on here for me so no chance that I'd do it. Even Rowena says email or FB 😀

I know the feeling, my winning image from the competition appears on page 17, but guess what ..... no credit given. Very odd way of carrying on IMO.

Maggie, I don't think any of the replies are negative, there are not enough. In the case of my post I was just raising a point I don't think that is negative.
I am delighted to see my photograph entered in the handbook but it was the way it was done. No acknowledgement from the club whatsoever. I just asked for thanks, that's all, is that to much

It is the image of Lyndor CL near Ross. A lovely CL. I thought the whole point of the competition was to help promote CLs but as far as I am aware there has been no mention of the competition on the website or the magazine. Even the CL entry for Lyndor doesn't show my image or indeed any others come to that (lost in the website refresh I guess) .. go figure.

Many thanks for your feedback on this. We’re really grateful for all the brilliant entries submitted in the CL photo competition, but we do receive thousands of entries and in order to publish your name as a credit we would need to seek permission due to data protection which isn’t always feasible as quite a lot of the photos used in the handbook are from member photo competitions. We do try to make it clear that by entering the competition that you’re giving us permission to use the image. We will take your feedback into account and we’ll look into whether we would be able to build a request to credit your photographs into the entry form for future competitions so that we don’t have to then contact each entry individually.
I would personally like to say thank you, such wonderful images and I really feel that member’s photos and perspective offers so much more to the Club and its members than a professional photographer, as this is what you are actually seeing and experiencing. I am really grateful to all who entered and thank you for making the Club be about your experiences.

Sorry to be pedantic, but where is there any mention in the OP that members entering the competition are giving the club permission to use the images as they see fit?

I would agree that the 'permission' should be part of the terms and conditons of the competition (in this case in Rowena's post or any announcement in the Club magazine) and individual permission shouldn't need to be sought thereafter. My OH entered a competition in a France magazine, and was the winner, but the competition rules clearly stated that the magazine publishers had the right to publish any images and to use the owner's name as the contributor. And his acknowledgement email of the receipt of the photograph (sent out, I would imagine automatically immediately his entry was received) reiterated those terms and conditions, as did the email informing him that he had won!
I don't for a moment imagine that France magazine have someone sitting there typing individual emails to each entrant but will use an automatic response system which only needs to be set up once!
