Submission Guidelines

Contributor Submission Guidelines

The following information supplements Untapped’s Submission Terms of Service. As an Untapped Contributor, you are required to adhere to the policies outlined below.

Content Ownership and Intellectual Property

  • You must own or control the copyright to all the Photographs you submit to Untapped. This means that you cannot submit work obtained from other sources (e.g., online image search results or websites), or incorporate such work into your Photographs.

  • Public domain Photographs cannot be submitted under any circumstances. If you do not have complete rights to the Photograph, you may not submit it.

  • Photographs must not contain any copyrighted material, including artwork, other photos, sculptures, architecture, exhibits or audio which are copyrighted.

  • Photographs must not contain trademarks, service marks or other indication of origin, including logos, owned by third parties.

  • We reserve the right to remove any previously accepted Photograph from the Untapped library and reserve the right to reinstate any previously accepted Photograph which was later removed by an Untapped administrator, at any time for any reason.

Releases

Photographs featuring an identifiable person must be accompanied by a valid Model Release. 

  • Model Releases -- Any content featuring an identifiable person must be accompanied by a Model Release. Photographs depicting a minor must be accompanied by a Model Release that was signed by that minor's parent or legal guardian. If there is no model release for the Photograph it will not be accepted or showcased on Untapped’s Website.
