I hope someone can answer this question. I was asked to submit one of my photos for my hometown's Bell South phonebook. I will not be getting any money for this, but I will receive name recognition, which I am perfectly ok with. Here is the contract. Am I giving away all my rights, or what? Would any of you do this? This is a first for me, so I guess I'm just kind of scared to sign anything before I get advice.
Thanks so much!
Becky
