Declaration & Release Form
I declare that the information given in the foregoing application form is complete and truthful. As an accepted participant in the USA International Harp Competition, I shall abide by all rules and regulations of the Competition as set out on the Competition website (linked here). I further declare that if I gain an award in the Competition I shall honor all commitments arising from the award. I hereby grant permission for part or all of any of my performances in the USA International Harp Competition to be electronically recorded, filmed or videotaped for distribution live, tape-delayed or by future transmission in all media. I will make no claim whatsoever for any funds which may accrue to the USA International Harp Competition, its assignees or licensees, resulting from the use of such recorded, filmed, or videotaped material. By submission of this application, I acknowledge that I wish to participate in the USA International Harp Competition, and that my participation is wholly voluntary. In consideration of my opportunity to participate in the USA International Harp Competition I agree to release and hold harmless the USA International Harp Competition, the Trustees of Indiana University, the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music, and each of their officers, directors, employees, volunteers, and agents, from any liability for any personal injury or illness or damage to property that may occur or arise out of my participation in and during the Competition. I understand, therefore, that as a participant, I am responsible for securing health insurance in case of illness or accident, as well as property insurance for my property, including my harp. I also understand that if I am a non-U.S. citizen, there is no national health insurance provided to cover me while traveling in the United States, and therefore, I will be personally responsible for any and all health coverage and costs that I may incur while participating in the USA International Harp Competition. I give my permission for the photographs I submit, as well as any photos taken during the USA International Harp Competition, to be used in print or online by the USA International Harp Competition, and I understand that I will receive no royalty, fee, or compensation for the use of these photographs.
