contains any material or elements that are not owned by the Entrant
and/or which are subject to the rights of third parties, the Entrant is
responsible for obtaining, prior to submission of the Photo, any and all
releases and consents necessary to permit the exhibition and use of the

compensation. The Entrant will be required to submit copies of any
releases and consents to The Herald-Dispatch upon request.

color adjustments and cropping are acceptable. If The Herald-Dispatch
determines a Photo has been altered, manipulated or enhanced, the Herald
Dispatch reserves the right to disqualify the Photo.
8. The
