11. BE SURE THAT YOU OWN THE RIGHTS TO ANY PHOTOS YOU SUBMIT! OTI will not be liable for any copyright issues regarding unauthorized use of photographs. It is up to you to make sure that we have permission to reprint any other person’s photos. It is best to shoot your own photos and submit only these, or obtain permission from photographers so that any photos sent to us can be legally used on our site. Please indicate the name of the photographers so that we can put photo credits next to all images.
All photographs must be clearly labelled with photographer’s name, names of subjects (if possible or applicable), and descriptions of people and places and activities in the photo. In some cases, photographs of people must have subjects’ permission for publication. Proof of permission may be required.
All material must be submitted by deadline, the 20th of each month with no exceptions, for inclusion in the next month’s issue.
You retain full rights to your articles and photos that were submitted by you and may re-use them as you see fit for your own purposes with the understanding that if you plan to submit your article to another publication, you will not submit to TILT and another publication simultaneously. Once your article has been published in TILT, please reference the original publication in any republished version (including blog posts and web pages) this way:

TILT Magazine reserves the right to edit, deny, or request a re-write of any article for content, format, grammar, or appropriateness for our readership, as determined by TILT’s editorial staff. Editorial content needs for each edition are identified prior to each deadline. Any articles not associated with that edition’s theme will be considered on an individual basis. All decisions are final.
Article content may be re-purposed by Online Therapy Institute at the discretion of TILT’s managing editors for re-print or publication in another OTI venue or on another OTI website for promotional purposes or for education and training purposes. Full credit will be given to article author(s).
