IV. MEDIA RELEASE
In the interests of 1) protecting the anonymity of child participants and 2) upholding the integrity of the business practices of each participating dance school, the following stipulations regarding the usage of photography and video must be understood and observed by dance school participants including their directors, staff, teachers, families, and affiliates, and by the Festival owners, directors, staff, teachers, and affiliates.

1. The Elevate Youth Dance Festival and photo/videography crew reserve the right to use any photography and video taken by our staff for the purpose of marketing and promotion in print, on the website elevatedancefestival.com, and on Elevate Youth Dance Festival social media platforms. Any students that appear in these materials will not be acknowledged by name or studio in any captioning, and these students will not contacted by the Festival owners, directors, staff, teachers, or affiliates.

2. The Festival is not responsible for any media that participants, including studio directors, staff, teachers, families, students or affiliates post on their personal or business social media platforms. This includes media in which the Festival is tagged and media that include the Festival hashtag.

3. Dance school directors, staff, teachers and professional affiliates are prohibited from posting photography or video on their professional website(s) or social media platforms taken at the Festival that include dancers from studios other than their own clientele. Dance school directors, staff, teachers and professional affiliates are also prohibited from using images that include dancers from studios other than their own clientele for the promotion of their studio. Media taken at the Festival used for these purposes must only picture dancers, clients, and staff of that studio. While this measure serves to protect the integrity of each studio, it is primarily designed to protect families who prefer to limit their children’s presence on social media.
