Photo competition for Wenzenbach children: Take part now!
The municipality of Wenzenbach invites all creative children and young people under the age of 14 to take part in an exciting photo competition. As Wenzenbach.de reports, the deadline for submission of competition entries has been extended in order to give even more young artists the chance to submit their works.
In order to take part in this competition, the legal guardian must fill out a consent form. This declaration is important because it includes consent to participate in the competition and to publish the child's photo, name and age. All relevant documents are available on the Wenzenbach municipality website.
Importance of informed consent
The declaration of consent for photographs of children is an essential part of protecting the rights of children and their parents. As klarung-meister.com points out, the document serves to document the consent of the legal guardians. This is important not only for photo ops but also for events where children are the focus.
The declaration of consent includes information about the children affected and their legal guardians as well as the purpose of the photography, which is used, for example, for club websites or flyers. It also specifies the scope of the consent and must be signed by the legal guardians. This declaration is legally binding as long as it is signed.
Legal framework
According to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), certain information should be included in the consent form. This includes the child's name and date of birth, the names of the legal guardians, the purpose of the photos and a description of the photos. In addition, the names of the people who are allowed to publish the photos and the duration of their consent must be clearly stated. As klarung-pro.com notes, parents have the right to withdraw their consent at any time.
Another important point is that both parents should sign the consent form to protect the child's rights. Documents should be stored securely to prevent access and misuse. They must be formulated clearly and understandably and are necessary if images of children are to be used in public or semi-public contexts.
For the photo competition in Wenzenbach, it is crucial that all participating children are registered with a valid declaration of consent in order to ensure the quality and protection of the submitted work.
