Graphic File Submission Requirements

You must be the copyright holder of every graphic file you submit. If you created the graphic as an original work, then you are automatically the copyright holder. If someone else created the graphic, or assisted in its creation, then you are only the copyright holder if you have a proper signed agreement from that person transferring the copyright to you.
