| As part of our Fair Trade Photography policy, Photographers Direct is now an official supporter of The Bill of Rights for Photography Competitions created by Pro-Imaging. The main purpose of The Bill of Rights is to protect the copyright of photographers' images and to highlight photographic competitions which are fair to photographers and those which are not. We highly recommend that any organisation arranging a photographic competition applies the Bill of Rights criteria as this will both allow the good publicity of appearing on Pro-Imaging's 'Rights On' list and avoid the bad publicity of appearing on their 'Rights Off' list. Here is the latest news from some of our photographers: Photographers Direct. Run by photographers, for photographers. |
