3. Return Postage: Mail charges are in the responsibility of the sender/artist. If the sender/artist wants his flip book sent back after the festival, a return envelope large enough for the FlipBook must be included in the submission. The return envelope must have sufficient return postage already attached to it as well as a return address written on it. If there is no return envelope/return postage the FlipBook remains in the FLIPT! Archive.
4. Miscellaneous: Throughout the festival, submitted work may become soiled, damaged and / or stolen. The organizers (Flipt & StopTrik IFF) do not take responsibility for damages or theft incurred. Additionally, FlipBooks will be perforated to provide space for a wire to act as an anti-theft device. If an artist does not want to risk damage to the FlipBook the organizers suggest that the artist submits a copy of the original work.
5. Presentation: At the Opening Event in OBRAT - space for art and participation we will try to present all submitted works. Should there be additional exhibitions we are also keen to show all FlipBooks that are submitted. If it is the case that we receive too many submissions for the capacities of the exhibition spaces, the organizers will then choose a selection of works. Furthermore the sender/artist agrees to the fact that the organizers create filmed versions of the flip book, that can be accessed in our digital archive (Youtube Channel, Vimeo Channel), and that may be used for promoting the festivals Flipt and StopTrik IFF.
