2. What are the Photo Contest Rules? [From webpage https://worldwidephotowalk.com/ ]
In order for all walkers to have the same opportunities to capture images during the walk, the following rules must be followed:
You may only submit one photo [to the local group]
Collages aren’t allowed, as they are technically more than one photo. But, the following editing is allowed (but not required):
Contrast & saturation adjustments.
Color to B&W transitions.
Removal of distracting elements.
Creation of HDR & Panoramas.
Infrared
Use of Plug-ins such as ON1, Boris FX, etc.
Adding watermarks.
Photos must be taken during the walk (not before or after)
3. How will I run the contest?
In the past, the official rules were that the Walk Leader selected the winning image from the photowalk. In past walks, I have never felt qualified to select the winner from a group of very talented photographers. So we voted as a group to select the winning image. If there were a tie or impasse, I selected the winner. This has worked well in the past so I will continue it this time.
4. What are the Legal Issues with taking photographs at Knoebels? See https://knoebels.com/faqs/photography-policy/
Knoebels’ Photography Policy
Knoebels encourages personal photography except while on rides. Professional and commercial photography are always prohibited without prior permission from the Knoebels Public Relations Department.
Due to the nature of all rides and the potential for injury caused by loose articles, unsecured cameras, cell phones, or any recording devices are not
permitted on rides. To secure these items please place them in a locker or leave them with a non-rider.
For guest safety, Knoebels prohibits riders from any type of photography while on rides unless the following conditions are met:
The camera must be secured by a 3 point or more harness, over the rider’s shoulders and around the torso, that is snapped or buckled closed and cannot be easily detached.
The camera must be inside a case that snaps closed tightly and the case is securely attached to the harness with a mechanical fastener.
At no time will any type of equipment that interferes with a rides safety restraint system be permitted.
A Guest Relations Supervisor must approve the device before it is issued.
As a guest within our park, you may be filmed and/or photographed by a Knoebels employee or contracted professional. Your entrance into the park serves as permission for us to use your image.
