MONTHLY PHOTO CONTEST RULES

 

Send us your photos wearing our shirts and holding your catch. Each month one winner will be chosen and will receive $200 in merchandise of their choice from our online store. Photos will be gathered from the first day of the month until the last day of the month. On the 3rd of the following month, a winner will be announced and informed of their win. For example, the contest begins April 1st. Photos will be collected until April 30th. The winner of April will be announced May 3rd and the process continues in May for the winner to be announced on June 3rd. Winners will be able to order up to $200 in merchandise from our store with free shipping. Order details will be provided to each winner. A two week period will be allowed for us to make every attempt possible to contact the winner. If we’re unable to contact them due to unanswered or un-returned phone calls, texts or emails and the win isn’t claimed during the two week period, our second choice photo winner will take their place. If you’re under 18, please get your parent’s permission to submit the photo and participate.

Alterations and deviations of said photos may be made by our staff.

Our contest rules are intended to offer fair contests; all submitted photos have an equal opportunity of being scored by our judges. Our contest is judged by fishing industry experts. Photos are judged with no discrimination towards gender, race, or age. All decisions are final. Our 444 Sportswear staff reserves the right to refuse any photograph which they deem unacceptable. Each contest winner shall receive a prize as advertised.

Our contests are void where prohibited by law. The contestants assume the total responsibility of knowing their local laws in regard to photo contests and are subject to any local, state, national, or international laws. 444 Sportswear accepts no responsibility for making these individual legal determinations. Contestants agree that this Contest shall be subject to and governed by the laws of New Jersey and the forum for any dispute shall be in New Jersey. To the extent permitted by law, the right to litigate, to seek injunctive relief or to make any other recourse to judicial or any other procedure in case of disputes or claims resulting from or in connection with this Contest are hereby excluded and any contestant expressly waives any and all such rights. Certain restrictions may apply.

The submitted photo, in its entirety, must be a single work of original material taken by contestant or representative. By entering the Contest, contestant represents, acknowledges, and warrants that the submitted photo is an original work created solely by the contestant, that the photo does not infringe on the copyrights, trademarks, moral rights, rights of privacy/publicity or intellectual property rights of any person or entity, and that no other party has any right, title, claim, or interest in the photo.

If the photo contains any material or elements that are not owned by the contestant and/or which are subject to the rights of third parties, and/or if any persons appear in the photo, the contestant 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 photo in the manner set forth in these Official Rules without additional compensation. If any person appearing in any photo is under the age of majority in their state/province/territory of residence the signature of a parent or legal guardian is required on each release.

If a professional photo is submitted to our contests, 444 Sportswear will not be held responsible for securing usage rights from the photographer.
