Participants agree that their photos will be exhibited at the House of Basketball, the world headquarters of FIBA
Participants must ensure that the photos submitted do not infringe privacy or personal rights without obtaining the authorization of the person represented. In the event that a representation is deemed to be contrary to these terms, the participant will be excluded from the contest.
