E-mails have been sent out and for everyone else we have some changes. See below:

Aviation Photographers of Southern California requires a signed form to participate in the Photocall. This form must be signed before you will be allowed access to the Photocall Facility. At this time the form reads as follows:

Aviation Photographers of Southern California (APSOCAL) - Policy Regarding Photocalls

APSOCAL Members are considered for Photocalls based on their participation on our forums and on Facebook. Also, any type of promotion of the Photocall Facility, through blog posts, articles, projects is also highly considered. Also, any members who have submitted their photos when asked by the facility are also highly considered. These actions do not guarantee selection but puts you in consideration. Basically, we want to know who you are and feel comfortable around you. We want to know that you are respecting the partnership we have sustained and are not using the Photocalls for only personal gain. Only coming around or contacting us when Photocalls come up is one way not to get chosen. Air Shows and aviation events are another way to keep in contact.

Members will be eligible to be invited to every other Photocall to ensure no member goes twice in a row. This does not guarantee that you will be going to the upcoming Photocall if you weren't selected previously. This just means you are eligible. We also reserve the right to invite members on consecutive Photocalls if we feel it is appropriate. We also reserve the right to invite non-members at times. If a member goes through another group (Fencecheck, AZAP, friends of the Photocall Facility) or in any capacity, they will be ineligible to go through us for the next Photocall.

Do not discuss any details of a Photocall on social media or on the forum until after the Photocall is completed. Also if a member is found to have made disparaging remarks about APSOCAL, any of its members, or anything related to the Photocall Facility they will be permanently excluded from any future Photocalls.

APSOCAL requires a copy of your best photos from the Photocall. Your photos will be added to a group DVD and sent to the Photocall Facility and used by used the Photocall Facility for any purpose they deem appropriate. To be clear, you are giving the Photocall Facility full use rights (not the copyright) for the photos sent for any purpose without compensation for your work. You however are not giving APSOCAL any rights to your photos. We just make the DVD and send it to the Photocall Facility. Please ensure that all content submitted has been fully post processed and does not contain watermarks, borders or digital dust.
