Use of imagery

Before you agree to any images or audio recordings of you, as a finalist, being used by the Northern Territory Government, there are some important things you need to know:

  • The Northern Territory Government will store your images digitally in its photographic library database. The talent release form that you agree to, on submitting your nomination, will be filed with your images. Once stored in the database, your images may be used by any Northern Territory Government department or agency for a wide variety of purposes, ongoing, until advised otherwise by you in writing.
  • Your images cannot be shared with any person, organisation or company outside of the Northern Territory Government, other than those specified, without your express permission. This includes private companies, political parties, and charitable organisations. Images may be shared with a Minister’s office in relation to a project, initiative and/or awareness messaging.
  • Your images may be used in a variety of applications. Some of the typical places could include printed brochures and flyers, newspaper advertising, magazines and journals, television commercials, radio commercials, government events and displays, newsletters, websites and social media channels, outdoor billboards and banners, bus advertising and others as required. Your image may be used in situations that are unrelated to the original purpose for which they were taken.
  • It can be quite a surprise to see your photograph blown up two metres tall at a display, or to suddenly find yourself appearing on television. You need to be aware that your photograph may be used in these situations unless you ask for it not to be. If there are circumstances where you do not want your photo used the department needs to be advised of this in writing.
  • If you have a photograph taken and no longer want it used you can contact the NT Training Awards team via the contact details noted on this form to advise them of this change.
  • If you identify as being of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander decent, we are required to collect this information as the NT Government delivers a wide range of services and public information programs specifically designed to reach Territorians who identify as being of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander descent. We appreciate that there may be certain cultural sensitivities about using your image, you are entitled to access and amend the information provided by you.
