Liability and Photo Release
Scholarship recipients must complete a liability and photo release form, which will be included in the scholarship award email. Throughout the Fish and Hang events, iFishiBelong will capture numerous photos and videos to celebrate, promote, and uphold the belief that fishing is inclusive for all. The scholarship sponsors are also committed to enhancing diversity within the fishing community. To achieve this goal, we actively share media across all our platforms featuring individuals from diverse backgrounds, not just the predominant fishing culture. Additionally, we will provide a media folder that you can utilize on your platforms.
Do you grant permission for iFishiBelong and the event's primary sponsor to use event photography, which may include images of you, for mission drive promotional purposes?

iFishiBelong Mission: iFishiBelong advocates for all species, all techniques, and all people within the fishing industry and communities.
