Do I use the Participant Release form for photos taken at Stake Girl's Camp? I've heard lots of differing views on what to use and where photos can be posted.

This resource Use of Online Resources in Church Callings is a good reference doc, and it points to the Participant Release (Release to Use Name, Image, Voice, Likeness, and Performance) form. I think (?) that's the correct form you're looking for, perhaps there's a more "one-time use" version than what this form seems to be.

What is the purpose the form is needed to fulfill? If it is for the unit history the resources for that are found at Unit Histories and Annual Histories. On that page click the Related Forms section to expand the links where there is a link to the Permission to Use Photographs form. This form is used as a release by the creator and owner of the photograph(s).barbara2013richins wrote: Thu Dec 14, 2023 1:40 pm Need a copy of the photo permission consent form,
If the purpose is for consent from individuals depicted in photos on limited access Church and unit websites then see Photo Upload Guidelines . For this purpose granting consent can be verbal. Public facing website use of photos would most likely require documented consent by signature such as identified in BrianEdwards' post.

I am writing our Stake YW history which includes , devotionals, camps, service projects and firesides. Many of the girls appear in multiple photos from all these events. Can a parent give permission once for all the times their child is photographed, or does each separate photo require a parent's permission. Also, three different forms have been suggested to use: Release to Use Image, Participant Release, and Permission to Use Photographs. Is it correct to say that the "owner of a photograph" is the one who took it and not the person in it? Thank you so much for your help.

The history training provided in our stake said our area history person is teaching that only verbal permission is required. I'd check with what your area history trainers as well as checking the help area in UnitHistory.ldial wrote: Wed Sep 03, 2025 1:32 pm I am writing our Stake YW history which includes , devotionals, camps, service projects and firesides.

Yes, the "owner of a photograph" is the photographer.
It's worth remembering that history has limited circulation - only members of the unit can see it. I'm sure the rules are different for things going onto the public ward website.
