Any entry using a popular song without this documentation will be disqualified. To use copyright images from books, newspapers, television, videos, video games etc., you must have written permission, including material available on the internet. The “Fair Use Clause” in copyright law applies only to very limited and specific uses; it does not apply to any material shown to the public in our festival. Historic footage (i.e. footage from World War II) must be checked thoroughly for the copyright holder. Check the video for a publishing company. This company will need to be contacted to obtain permission. Documented proof indicating permission to use such materials must accompany your entry. This means copies of all letters of permission.
