However, the Artist grants Port Stephens Council the non-exclusive right to reproduce any work entered for printing on Banners, which can be reused yearly to celebrate National Threatened Species Day.
• Marketing Waiver: The Artist grants Port Stephens Council the right to use the image of any entry for future marketing, publicity purposes (including in the press, on TV, or online), or in the compilation of a photo book featuring all entries.
• Sales Restrictions: No artworks entered in the competition may be sold until after the winners are officially announced.
