Rich looks a bit more rigid than usual!I had a hard time deciding which is my best photo. I finally settled on this one:

Why not enter it?I'm not entering the contest, but this is a favorite of mine because it reminds me of a painting. It's the bridge at Pontevedra.
As a lay person in the field, Theresa, I appreciate your attention to detail. However, in the wider scheme of things - one second separates me from any right whatsoever. So, I have no photo right now to submit, but if I find one, I will know because you have told me. I see from your avatar why you are alert, and repeat gratitude for the information.Beware of the rights you may be giving up.
Reading the conditions, clearly that's only if they publish it -- reference to "the calendar" clearly means that by submitting a photo, you are ceding to them all rights if they choose to use your photo in that project ; including if they should choose to use some photos that did not make the cut in other related media, such as for example a "best of the rest" compilation.Beware of the rights you may be giving up.
I'm not a copyright lawyer or even a lawyer but I have read a lot about copyright law (though mainly about US copyright law). I believe that you are incorrect about most of your points. I recommend to photographers interested in retaining rights to their photos to not submit them to this contest.Reading the conditions, clearly that's only if they publish it
US copyright law is radically different to copyright law in Europe ; for one thing, establishing copyright in the US may require you to sue someone else to retain it.I know that under US copyright law one can own copyright of unpublished works.

The US is signatory to the Berne Convention. You do not have to sue anyone to receive or retain copyright rights, although you may need to sue to enforce it.US copyright law is radically different to copyright law in Europe ; for one thing, establishing copyright in the US may require you to sue someone else to retain it.
Not so in Europe, however an entity would still need to establish copyright by various means, usually publication. Just saying "you agree to bla ... bla bla ... " is insufficient to that purpose, it just establishes a right for them to publish and therefore copyright whatever you have sent them.
Hi jungleboy,The official website for the CP (including central, coastal and littoral) is running a photo contest at the moment with 12 winning photos to be used in a 2024 calendar, and prizes from Decathlon involved as well.
The instructions are in Portuguese but it's fairly easy to follow: you just enter your name, email, phone number and upload one photo that you took (max 2MB in size) that 'best represents the pilgrim spirit'. The contest is open until the 15th of October.
Here's the link to participate.
This is the photo I submitted: a pilgrim rock garden at Refugio Nicolau on the stage heading into Coimbra. And here's what I wrote in my live thread at the time:
Just before Fonte Coberta, we had a big surprise when we stumbled upon a donativo campsite run by Nicolau and Maria (who have read this thread and were waiting for us!). We spent about an hour there with them and their French guest Jean, who has made a lovely painted rock garden at the entrance to the camp. They are all free spirits with a positive and beautiful outlook on life and the spirit of the camino runs deeply through all of them. If anyone walking behind us has the chance to spend some time with them and approaches with an open mind it will certainly be an interesting and enriching experience!

Sadly not but the fun was in the anticipation and what the hell, everyone here on the forum enjoyed them !It doesnt look like any of the ones posted here made the cut.
@jungleboy's made it, but I didn't see any of the others. Too bad, because I think the ones on this thread are more creative and original than many that made the cut -- so many of those seem to be shots of people jumping up and down in front of the CathedralIt doesnt look like any of the ones posted here made the cut.
Elle, yours was my personal favorite of those posted on the forum.@Judy T photo made it as well!
