The organizer of the competition is authorized to photograph, film and make sound recordings and/or digital/electronic recordings at all concerts or events within the period of the competition and to use these recordings for publicity purposes. In particular the organizer reserves the right to authorize radio and TV stations to record and broadcast (e.g. via radio and television, including on-line) all events of the competition. No claims for reimbursement for participants may arise from this.
The competition organizer reserves the right to use
selections from the competitions and prize winners’
concerts on a CD and/or DVD, which will serve to publicize the participants and document the competition.
Beyond this, the competition organizer reserves the
right to release and distribute or permit the distribution on its own or through third parties of contributions
to the competition in sound form, on analogue and/
or digital sound or data media in any format or process (including as digital downloads via online distributors),
either commercially or non-commercially.
The declaration of understanding on the part of the competition participants

conditions. The prize winners have no claim to additional
compensation.
Prize winners are obliged to perform at the Prize Winner Concert without a fee.
