Addendum to the Terms and Conditions of the NSS Space Settlement Art Contest.
The primary purpose of the NSS Space Settlement Art Contest, in addition to the creation of a Space Settlement Calendar, is to encourage the creation of space settlement art that could be used by NSS to promote its non-profit objective of creating a spacefaring civilization. Any use of the art by NSS would appear with proper accreditation for the creating artist. Such use could include the NSS website, the NSS magazine Ad Astra, and possible brochures and other promotional materials. We believe this use is for the benefit of the future of humanity and we hope and trust that this is a cause and use that artists would support.
However, we recognize that some artists have legitimate reasons for limiting the use of their art to the Space Settlement Calendar Art Contest only. We therefore offer the following option to artists for such limited use.
Limited Use
- Winning images will appear in the NSS Space Settlement Art Calendar.
- Submitted images will be displayed on the NSS web site only in association with the NSS Space Settlement Art Calendar Contest.
- Submitted images may be used in articles in the society’s magazine and other membership publications only in connection with the Space Settlement Art Calendar Contest.
- Submitted images may only be used in association with reporting of the Space Settlement Art Calendar Contest or publicity for or about the Space Settlement Art Calendar Contest.
- Any further use of entries submitted to the NSS Space Settlement Art Contest would be subject to negotiation with the artist.
- The above limitations do not apply to the Moon Society’s use of the single image that wins First Prize for Settlements on the Moon.
To invoke these “Limited Use” Terms and Conditions, the artist should email a request, no later than one week after the contest deadline, containing this or similar language: “Please limit my entry titled _____ to the purposes of the Calendar Art Contest only”. Email this request to: (email closed)
An email acknowledgement that the Limited Use terms will apply to that art work will be sent to the artist.
