=waterscapes-club conforms to all deviantART rules and policies to the best of its abilities. Please use the following FAQ entry to familiarize yourself with these policies.

FAQ #216: Are there any rules for accounts being used as clubs or 'group' accounts?

When times are mentioned in official club documentation (journals, comments, etc), they are based on US Eastern time (standard or daylight savings, as appropriate) unless otherwise noted.

To join the club, please do as follows:
Send us a note with the subject JOIN
Add waterscapes to your devwatch
Add a link to the club to either your signature or your journal (either :devwaterscapes-club: or :iconwaterscapes-club: are acceptable means of fulfilling the latter requirement. (We are lenient on this point, but it is strongly requested as this will help to advertise the club to other deviants. We don't think it's really that much to ask...)

To submit an image to the =waterscapes-club gallery, simply send us a note with the subject "SUBMISSION" and a link to the desired deviation in the message body.

Only club members may submit images to the =waterscapes-club gallery.

While submissions to this club need not necessarily be in the Photography > Animals, Plants, and Nature > Waterscapes gallery, they should meet the qualification quoted in the category description: "Photographs of an expanse of natural scenery that can be seen in a single view. This category differs from a landscape in that waterscapes should feature water - flowing or standing - for the most part."

Though =waterscapes-club respects all forms of art, this is a club for photography only. No other form of art will be accepted into the gallery. This includes photomanipulations. The administrator(s) of this club are well aware that there is a fine line between photo correction/adjustment using a digital photo editor and photomanipulation. To avoid any confusion, administrators will, at their discretion, make the final decision on whether or not to include any submitted image.

By submitting images for the =waterscapes-club gallery, you are granting =waterscapes-club permission to add those images to its gallery and display them (as thumbnails) in journals, shoutboard entries, and other normal account-related features.

No submissions to the club represent any transfer or reduction of copyright, publication, or ownership rights. =waterscapes-club will never knowingly cooperate in the unauthorized use of any image in its gallery and will always do its best to direct viewers to the original artist.

All submissions are displayed in, and can be removed from, the =waterscapes-club gallery at the sole discretion of the club administrator(s). Administrators maintain the right to refuse and/or remove any submission without warning or explanation.

Members are restricted to a maximum of one submission to the gallery per week, to be taken at any time.
