Evan,
Please submit something! We need more submissions. This will be an ongoing project, but I'd like to have something for the Bent Fest. 

"All submissions become property of the Bent Festival".
This is just a catch all to cover our butts. It means  we have no monetary obligations to people who submit work and that we can reproduce the submissions in part or in full in this and future editions of theBigBookofBends as well as for promotional material. So I might use images from a submission in my next call for entries. It might also be necessary to make some format changes like scale or image resolution for print. Beyond this, the submissions will NOT be altered. I want people to be able to use this book as a way to show off their skills, share ideas and get their name out there.  

It is a core mission of this book that people are recognized for their work and that the info provided in the book is free for all to use. We claim no intellectual ownership of the material. We only say that the submissions are our property so that we can offer this material freely to others without getting in trouble.
