I got told about this today, a bit short notice but I guess a few of you might be interested

http://www.tfl.gov.uk/roadusers/cycling/9139.aspx

I believe Mr Edscoble's already on this one. I saw his name somewhere on the TfL cycling page anyway...

read the Tand C's often they use these competitions to grab the rights to your images so they can do what they want with them afterward.
not saying this is the case but do read the small print.

almost every competition states in the small print something around "we own your image, every other image you've produced, and every image you produce in the future.

in this case it's limited to TFL using it for their publicity for this competition.

"By submitting a qualifying photograph and text you agree that the promoter has an irrevocable and royalty free right to use and reproduce the qualifying photograph and text for the purposes of this competition and related publicity."

surprising.

TFL's T&Cs seem pretty standard.

T&Cs that made the photographer give up all rights to past and future images (probably) wouldn't be enforceable in court.

:: Your photos

Hi there,
Thanks for submitting these photos to the Cycle London
group. Unfortunately they look as if they might be
encouraging unsafe cycling.
As a result we can't accept them into the group.
Please feel free to submit other images which meet our
criteria.
Best wishes
Cycle London moderator

Ha! What was the photo?

nice. we need to see that photo

Looks like all relevant risk assessments have been taken to me:

*rolls eyes* Did you explain to them what is was?

i posted a picture taken at herne hill, clearly, with herne hill sign in the background.

they said:

sorry, but this picture isn't about cycling in london.

bearded sub-human morlocks that they are.

Send them a pic of a smiling family in fluros riding serenely past an Evans store with the London Eye in the background. You'll win the comp.

they rejected it sadly, on the ground that it's an 'unsafe' photo, taking a snap of the bike without holding the handlebar.

it was this one;

Bastards !! Health and safety is extending it's remit into art now ?

They should take a look around the National gallery or perhaps the Tate and check for any breaches of H&S depicted in the paintings.

;P


This one here is a fucking accident waiting to happen !! . . .

:)

This entry seems to show London cycling at it's best


I guess cycling's banned in this park.

penis swastika anyone? :D

I might submit this one :^]

"oh my gosh! are they riding with no brakes and with ... hammers?!?! Good lord!"

I call this one "die puppy! die!"

My submissions, titles below the images..



"Don't be a pussy, it's not that cold"


"Bike & Tube - What more do you TFL cunts want?"


"Even city cunts(ters) can cycle to work"


"Cycling off your tits in London is silly.. but fuck.. it's FUN!"

My submission called: the police's new bikes

Seems that one of the winning photos didn't even involve a bike:

ha!

yeah this one



I'm sure I've seen it elsewhere - either taken by the editor of urban75 or submitted to an urban75 photo competition.

WTF it has to do with cycling I have no idea.

Pretty disgusted that the photographers' names aren't shown.

What MessenJah said.
I thought the photos were in the main pretty lame.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/london/content/..._feature.shtml

The subject in the winning photograph had a flat rear tyre.

In the winning entry the cyclist is about to hit one of those bastard grates because she is distracted by the street art. Safe cycling indeed.

The abandoned tube carriages in Shoreditch; WELL URBAN!

*spunks into Maharishi cap*

The Carriages apparently are art studios- may be utter bullshite

Nah thats true, loads of people go down to paint those tubes..

My friend use to rent one of them, for his film company, they're not actually that expensive, although the only way up was via a REALLY REALLY shakey bit of scaffolding.

the people in the train under his were a graffiti/graphic design crew, hence all of the changing designs all the time.
