Copyright of the images remains with the original artist.
Upon acceptance, the artist grants the publisher, Kirk Ramdath, the right to the first publication of the images, as well as the right to republish the images in Wax Poetry and Art anthologies and collections, online and in print, without additional permission required.
If the images are ever collected into a book or made available for sale in any other print format, the artist will receive a minimum 20% royalty. If the images are included in a collection with other artists, the 20% royalty is shared equally among all artists, based on the number of works contributed. If the images are ever made available for sale in a digital format, a 50% royalty will be given, and shared as necessary. Royalties are paid out annually in January if a minimum of $10 CAD is accrued.
There is no initial payment.
The artist also grants the publisher the right to publish the work on third party platforms such as Facebook and other social media, specifically for the purpose of sharing the work with more people, and considering the evolving and experimental nature of the Internet.
The editor reserves the right to make whatever changes are deemed necessary, at any time, to ensure that publication occurs. Publication is perpetual.
