SUBMISSION CONSENT AGREEMENT
COPYRIGHT RELEASE
By completing the submission form, effective as of the date of submission, the student agrees to the terms and conditions and makes each of the grants and waivers set forth in this paragraph. The student irrevocably grants an assignment transferring to Karz Productions (hereinafter referred to as "Karz") all right, title, and interest (including all copyrights) in and to the submitted work (hereinafter referred to as the "Work"), such that the Work, and all rights relating to the Work, shall be the exclusive property of Karz. Rights with respect to a Work not selected as a semifinalist or grand prize winner will revert automatically to the student at the time the semifinalists are selected and announced.
All right, title and interest (including all copyrights) with respect to Works selected as semifinalists and grand prize winners will remain the exclusive property of Karz for two years from the date of selection. During this period, Karz will have the right to exercise, and to permit others to exercise, all rights relating to the Work, including the worldwide rights to reproduce, make, use, publish, promote, and publicly display and perform the Work and adaptations, modifications and other derivative works of or based on the Work, individually and as part of a compilation or collective work, in all forms and media (print, electronic, and other) now known or hereafter developed. At the end of the two-year period, all rights to the work shall automatically revert to the student subject to the student's irrevocable grant to Karz of a worldwide, perpetual, non-exclusive license to exercise all copyrights in the Work in all forms and media as described above, including the rights to reproduce, make, use, publish, promote, and publicly display and perform the Work in all forms and media and to have others do so on Karz's behalf.
Karz shall have the right to publish and present the Work in such manner and for such purposes as it deems appropriate, including the right to manipulate, crop, rearrange, recompose, and otherwise alter the Work, and to publish and present the Work in combination with Karz's name and with other works, names, and materials. In granting Karz these rights, the student knowingly, voluntarily and irrevocably waives all rights in the Work arising under Section 106A of the U.S. Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 106A) and all "moral rights" in the Work arising under any applicable law of any jurisdiction. Karz does not copyright individual works, only the publications in which they appear. The student acknowledges and agrees that the administration of The Dream@50 Art Contest awards constitutes good and sufficient consideration for the agreements, grants, waivers, and other undertakings set forth in this paragraph, and unconditionally and irrevocably waives and disclaims all rights and claims to compensation for the exercise of the rights, licenses, and privileges accorded hereby.
