CONTEST WAIVER

I certify that this is my original work and that, at the time of submission, it has not been accepted for publication. I have read and understand the guidelines for the Bay Area Writers League (B.A.W.L.) Open Contest. I realize that contest judging is, by its nature, subjective, and that I may receive feedback from contest judges with which I do not agree. Accordingly, I will accept and abide by the decisions of any judge and/or contest official regarding finalists or winners for the Contest.

In consideration of B.A.W.L.'s acceptance of my entry, I agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless its officers, members and all judges of the Contest from liability for its/their actions arising from, or relating to, judging and handling of my entry, and conducting, sponsoring and advertising the Contest. If I win the B.A.W.L. Open Contest, I will allow the B.A.W.L. conference committee to right to use my work up to three times for publicity purposes only. I retain all other rights to my work.
