All photos submitted must be the work of the individual submitting them. It is the responsibility of each entrant to ensure that any photos they submit do not infringe the copyright of any third party or any laws. Entrants warrant that the photograph they are submitting is their own work and that they own the copyright.

Entrants will retain the copyright in the photos they submit for this competition. However, by entering the competition, each entrant grants a world-wide, irrevocable, perpetual licence to the Essex Retired Police Dogs Fund.

Each entrant may submit up to four photos, e.g. one for each season.  Late, illegible, incomplete, defaced or corrupt entries will not be accepted. No responsibility can be accepted for lost entries and proof of transmission will not be accepted as proof of receipt. Entries must not be sent through agencies or third parties.
