Gathered Light Visuals Submission Agreement
By submitting content to Gathered Light Visuals, you agree to the following:
- Ownership and Originality
I confirm that I am the creator and rightful owner of all materials I am submitting, or that I have full legal permission to share them. The content is original, does not infringe on anyone else's rights, and was not created using AI tools.
- Use and License
I grant Gathered Light Visuals and its affiliated projects (including Gathered Light Gallery, Publishing, Magazine, and Photography) a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, publish, and distribute my submission in accordance with the options I have elected on the submission form. This may include print and digital media, social media, exhibitions, educational materials, and advocacy projects. I understand my work may be lightly edited for clarity or formatting if published, but the core message and credit (if provided) will remain intact.
- Credit and Anonymity
I may choose whether or not to be credited publicly by name or social handle. If I request anonymity, my identity will not be shared publicly. My contact information will be kept private and used only for communication regarding my submission.
- Right to Revoke
I retain full ownership of my work. I may revoke this license at any time by contacting Gathered Light in writing. Revocation will apply to any future use but does not require the removal of already published materials.
- Community and Responsibility
I agree not to submit content that is false, misleading, defamatory, or invasive of others’ privacy. Submissions that include people’s faces or private property must have appropriate consent, unless the content is clearly in the public interest or part of a public event.
- Non-Commercial Use
My submission will never be sold to third parties for profit. Any sharing with nonprofits, journalists, or advocacy groups will be in alignment with Gathered Light’s mission and values and will include proper credit (unless anonymity is requested).
