PERMISSIONS
We ask that you respect your church leadership and obtain their consent to participate in this project. Kindly ensure the name of your church being used in this video is approved by your church/centre/service pastor, coordinator or delegated person in charge. We take the submission as full permission to use your name, church name, location, image and likeness, plus the sound and audio files in their entirety. This includes permission to broadcast the audio and visual of those persons under the age of 18.
CHILD SAFETY
All minors must have their legal guardian present in the video footage. This gives us permission and license to use the footage and likeness on free public platforms. This should be strongly considered before your submission. If there are any minors in your video, and we are considering using it in the final video, someone from our team will be in touch for written consent.
