The International Costumers Gallery
Policies
(updated July 12,

Contributor policies:
The Contributors’ Galleries
are for photos of costumes from events such as:
No artwork or prop photos (unless
part of a series of detail shots of a particular costume) are to be posted to
the contributor galleries.
Semi-nudity is acceptable so
long as it is in the context of a costume.
Keep in mind, however, this site will be seen by people of all ages and
cultures.
The Contributors’ Galleries
are for people who have taken their own photos – we cannot accept photos
purchased from an event or photographer that has not given us permissions to
publish their works
All rights to the posted
images belong to the photographers who shot them.
The Gallery does not have
the capability to link to other costume websites. If you are interested in
exchanging links with the ICG, please contact the webmaster
(webguy@costume.org).
For privacy reasons, we
cannot divulge photographers’ contact information should they decline to
display it within their personal galleries.
Solicitation of the
contributors of these galleries is absolutely prohibited without permission
from the Gallery Administrator. This includes but is not limited to sending out
emails or private messages to contributors.
The Gallery does not keep
copies of contributors’ photos in the physical archives. We would welcome donations to the Library to
be part of the permanent collection.
Please contact the Archivist (icg-archivist@costume.org) for more
information.
