Model Release Forms
When taking photos or shooting video at public College events, there are times you DO need to have people sign a model release form and there are times when you DO NOT need to have people sign a model release form. The following are general guidelines:
YES, you need a model release:
- If you interview someone for a video shoot
- If you plan on using photos/videos for advertising purposes
[Have a few people sign releases and concentrate on them. The College will then be protected if their images are selected for advertising purposes.]
NO, you do not need a model release:
- If you will not be using the photos/videos for advertising
Be sure you are using the most recent and official College Model Release forms:
Model Release Form for Adults [electronic]
Model Release Form for Adults [PDF]
Model Release Form for Minors [PDF]
