What is the difference between permission to make photocopies for contest use and permission to make permanent photocopies?
We understand that a certain number of copies of a score or part may be needed for judges at a festival or contest in which you or your organization is participating. If a work is not available for purchase and you are in need of copies for the judges’ reference only, then you should submit your request for permission to make photocopies for contest use. The number of copies you would need in such a case is generally quite small, usually six or less, and all copies are to be destroyed after contest use. If you are seeking permission to make legal photocopies for your organization’s music library or if you are seeking permission to make a significant number of photocopies, 15 or more, you should submit your request for permission to make permanent photocopies.
