Speech Contest Recording Policy

(from TMI Speech Contest FAQ)

What are the rules regarding video or audio recording a speech contest?
If you wish to record a speech contest, all speakers or presenters must
give their written permission to be recorded beforehand. Any speaker
who refuses should not be recorded. Upon request, any speaker or
presenter is entitled to one copy of the recording at no charge.
Recording should not cause a safety hazard to any in attendance, nor
should it be a distraction to a speaker or presenter.
During a district conference, recording of speakers and presenters may
only occur with the permission of the Host District Chairman.
Recordings of these events will be controlled by the Host District
Chairman or his/her appointed representative. If one or more authorized
Toastmasters provide recording services and tapes are made available for
sale, the Toastmaster providing the services may be reimbursed only for
expenses and may not profit from the recording nor charge for the use of
equipment. Money from any recording sales must be deposited in the
district account.
