Stock Images or Clipart on Contest Entries
We encourage you to create a design with your own created images that you have complete rights over. This eliminates the possibility of violating the copyrights of the original owners, which is also against our policy to pass off something as your own. This may also lead to your entry’s rejection, thereby losing the chance of winning the contest you are interested in.
If it is inevitable for a stock image or clipart to be used, you will be given a chance to declare any unoriginal elements, its name, origin and if it requires purchase. Take advantage of this for transparency and proper decision-making on the Contest Holder's part.
We would still like to ask you to use your own created images that you have complete rights over. It would also feel much more fulfilling to win with an entry that is 100% yours.
