To participate as a nominee in the World Orthodontic Health Day (WOHD) Art Competition sponsored by the World Federation of Orthodontists(WFO), the artist (or a parent or guardian for nominees under the age of 18) must agree to the following terms. These terms are a binding agreement under Missouri, U.S.A. law. License Those who have artwork(s) submitted to the World Federation of Orthodontists for the Allan R. Thom WOHD Art Competition will retain any intellectual property rights they have in their works, including copyright. This means, for example, they may submit the same work submitted to the WFO to other art contests, scholarship programs or contests, keep the work as part of an art portfolio, and license it to others for non-exclusive publication. The WFO will not license submitted artwork(s) to others. The WFO is granted license to use, copy, publish, publicly or privately exhibit, distribute, or alter the submitted work as required to meet publication media requirements. This license is perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, transferable, and non-exclusive (with the right to sublicense). The WFO can use the work in any media, including online. The WFO and its representatives will not pay the nominee or his/her representative for submission or use of the submission. Awardees may be recognized by way of announcements in social and professional media as well as by local recognition within and by the nominating orthodontist’s office. The WFO is granted permission to use the artist/patient’s name, photograph or other image if provided, biographical information, and interviews made in connection with the WFO sponsored competition, for information and promotion of WOHD, the WOHD Art Competition and the WFO. The WFO and its representatives will give credit when the submission is used, unless there is a practical reason why the WFO cannot, such as formatting, or if the work is being used in a medium where no individual credits are given. Original Work Requirement All work submitted to the WFO must be original, meaning the named artist/patient created the work based on their own ideas. By submitting work to the WFO, the applicant (or parents/guardians) agree that the applicant created it and did not copy it from any other person, business, school, online source or organization. Submitted work that infringes upon another’s intellectual property rights will be disqualified. Note to Parents or Guardians of Nominees under the age of 18 A parent or guardian must review and sign this Permission/Consent form for an artist/nominee under the age of 18 to be considered. Be sure to read all rules and guidelines to make sure that submissions adhere to WFO guidelines. By way of signature, I agree to the license, permission and consent terms outlined above:
