OK, guys I am trying to do my contest cake. I was reading over the rules and noticed it said no copyrighted photos. I just want to make sure, does that mean my theme cannot be of a copyrighted character? Surely not as I have seen tink and other characters on cakes here in the contest b4. Or there must be no copyright on my PHOTO itself? The cake I am starting is very intricate and involved and I don't want to not be able to enter it after I put all that work into it. I did that once with the moms day contest...not gonna do it again! Any help is appreciated in advance!

I think it just means that you can't post photos of your cake if a professional took them and you don't have the copywrite to them?

That's what I thought it meant anyway. Maybe someone else can tell you for sure though.

Yes. That's what it means...that the photo itself can't be copyrighted.

Lisa is correct.

For example, you could not scan a photo from a book, or from another website and upload it.

All photos that are taken by professional photographers are automatically copyrighted by law. So....the cake itself is ART.... and the photographer's work is ART.......

This could get deep.
