I attended a high school event. I have a nice shot of one of the students that I would like to put in a challenge. The person is about 16 years old and not identifiable. Unless you know the school and date of the event, there is no way to identify the subject.

I do not personally know this student or the parents. However, if they saw my username associated with that photo they would likely be able to identify the subject.

Can I post this shot in the challenge or on the web in general?
Would you think the parents or school would be upset if they found I used this shot in a virtual ribbon challenge?

Thanks for your opinions....

Well now that you have described the shot so we can all identify it as yours, I would say no, you can't enter it into a challenge. As for the other uses someone more knowledgeable than me would have to answer.

My understanding is that you can use it for 'editorial' purposes (which web publication counts as) and can sell fine-art prints, butthat you cannot sell the image for use in any form of advertising.

If the person is not individually identifiable then you can use the photo for anything without a model release. If the person(s) can be identified, then you are limited to personal, educational, or editorial use as noted.
