Welcome to our photo challenge „Messages of Angels“!
With an Open Call, we 2022 invite you to participate in an international Fraktalwerk photo challenge in the context of our project „Gestures as Mediators between Cultures“. The theme is „Messages of Angels“.

By submitting a photo, participants guarantee that they own all rights to the submitted photo and that they have the unrestricted copyright and exploitation rights to all parts of the photo. They also guarantee that the picture is free of third-party rights and that no personal rights are violated in the depiction of persons. If one or more persons are recognisably depicted in the photo, the persons concerned must agree to the photo being published. Express reference is made to the provisions of the German Art Copyright Act (Kunsturhebergesetz). The participants assure that they have the corresponding declarations of consent for the aforementioned use and that they can also provide these in writing upon request.
Photos edited on the computer may not contain any parts of pictures from the media (newspapers and magazines or e.g. the Internet). The participants assure that the photo or its distribution does not violate any image provider, trademark, copyright or design right, the right to privacy, publicity rights or other rights of third parties or that third parties are not offended or brought into disrepute.
If a model and/or property release and/or permission from manufacturers of commercial products (e.g. packaging, designer clothing, etc.) is required for the image, then the participants are responsible for ensuring that all necessary releases from the property right holders are available. If necessary, copies of these are to be made available to the organizer.
