- In materials promoting the Award or any exhibition organized by AI Design Awards
- In books, magazines, exhibition catalogs, or similar publications if applicable.
- Will I receive compensation for the use of my images? While there is no monetary compensation for the use of submitted images, participants retain the option to decline usage for purposes other than the promotion of the AI Design Awards. In such cases, participants will be contacted and given the opportunity to withhold consent.
- If my design is selected to take part in any exhibition organized by AI Design Awards, what will happen to it once the exhibition ends? Following the exhibition, selected works may be archived at the AI Design Awards Headquarters for safekeeping. There is a possibility for inclusion in annual retrospective exhibitions for AI Design Awards. Each print will be stamped with “not for sale, do not duplicate, return to AI Design Awards Headquarters” for identification. Interested buyers will be directed to the creator for direct communication regarding purchase inquiries.
