Model Release Requirements for Sporting Events
I have an inventory of sports photos that I'd like to submit for stock. From what I've read, any public event does NOT require a model release. Some of these events I shot with a press pass, some were not. I'm trying to determine if these will be accepted. Some of the shots include:
- Professional events (PGA, beach vollyball)
- College football (faces obsured by facemasks, but college logos visible on the helments or uniforms)
- High school sports (faces visible)
- Polo matches
Before I start submitting I'd like to get a temperature check on the need for model releases on these types of shots. Thanks for your input in advance!
