Rules
- One entry per nonprofit.
- Only IRS-designated 501(c)(3) nonprofits are eligible to enter.
- Entrants must be 18 years of age or older.
- Please note that by law, we are required to have a photo release for any photo that includes any individual(s) who are in a private place or where there is a reasonable right to privacy. Photographs of any persons under the age of 18 require a release for each minor signed by a parent or guardian. This is required any time a minor’s face is clearly visible, regardless of location. Releases are also required for adults if they are photographed on private property or in a setting with the reasonable expectation of privacy. You may submit signed copies of your own release form, or you may download this photo release form. Each entry will be evaluated to ensure it represents a nonprofit organization in the U.S. and has appropriate release forms signed (if applicable).
- Entrants must satisfy one of the following conditions:
- Have a Blue Avocado weekly email subscription (subscriptions are free), or
- Be an active member of Nonprofits Insurance Alliance.
- Combining images or adding logos or text to images is not allowed.
- Photos that are blatantly promotional and depict a brand or products of commercial value will be disqualified.
- Photos must be appropriate for all audiences.
