[mfm-list]Video/photo release

[Walt Atwood]

In preparation for 2011, I was just reviewing some paperwork for a local =
community winter festival I volunteer for. The event encompasses =
numerous winter activities and competitions, mostly held at a local =
state park. I'm a volunteer for sled dog races held at the event. I and =
other volunteers regularly shoot photos and video of the event.

One form we prepare every year is a waiver of liability. In order to =
participate in a race, each race contestant must sign it to protect the =
organizations involved in putting on the race. The one thing I noticed =
when updating the waiver form for 2011 is that there is no clause for a =
release for photographs and video our volunteers may shoot of the races =
to use for promotional, record-keeping and fundraising purposes. Is =
there any kind of general, boilerplate language I can insert into the =
waiver form to cover the photo/video release issue? If so, where can I =
access that language?

Thank you in advance,
