 Contest Rules |
| |
- Contests are void where prohibited
- In order to take part in any of the Firehall contests, either as a contestant or a judge, you must have a valid Firehall.com account. If you do not have one already why not join the team, it's 100% free.
- We reserve the right to exclude any entry from any contest for any reason.
- Though we do encourage you to have co-workers/friends sign up to vote for your entry, creating multiple accounts yourself is absolutely forbidden. We have a variety of ways of checking for this sort of activity, if we find any user is padding votes we will remove all accounts including the primary login, posts and email.
- Cheating in any form will result in the abusing account, including all forum posts and email being removed from our system and you will be lucky if we don't shame you in the forum.
- We must follow strict copyright laws, when submitting images you must have FULL COPYRIGHT to the image! We will not accept any picture for any contest/gallery that you do not have publishing rights for. A good rule of thumb is that if you did not take the picture, don't submit it. If your friend emails you a funny picture, great, send it to another friend... don't submit it. If you find a fabulous picture in a magazine/newspaper, on a website, at the hall, on a roll of film from camera you lifted from an unsuspecting tourist, don't submit it. If you are not sure if you have rights to publish it, you probably don't, don't submit it (instead, contact us and explain the situation and we will let you know). If we find anyone violating this rule we will take appropriate action which may include, but is not limited to: removing the image, removing your account and everything related to it. By submitting something that is not yours you are also opening up a door for legal action by the copyright holder, keep this in mind. We look forward to seeing YOUR pictures.
