    it becomes property of your company?

    it’s the same licence that Promax and RES fest have. We had been a non-profit organization, but the paperwork was limiting. We intend to continue with the same motivation of providing new outlets for creativity. If you want to be included as a presentation artist only and not be included in the festival DVD, then just indicate that on your submission. Does that help clarify a bit?

    we did update our licence for the festival:

    Please Note: Submissions to the festival are assumed to have all permissions and copyrights cleared by the entrant. Artists keep ownership of the work, but grant Design After Next, LLC full and unlimited rights to international screening, distribution, and sales of the submission.

    does that sound better?
