The Sanctuary Release, in plain words

You keep your copyright. You let the Sanctuary — and any foundation or institution that later looks after its archive — keep, copy, catalogue and share your submission for archival, educational, research and exhibition purposes, but only in the way you choose. Before anything is published you can ask us to withdraw it from public view, or email info@mariahsanctuary.org; it can stay in the private archive unless you ask in writing for it to be removed. Please leave out other people's private details.

  • Open — may be shown on MariahSanctuary.org and in exhibits after review.
  • Restricted — kept private until a date you choose, then open.
  • Archive only — preserved privately for research and never shown publicly.

You also choose the credit: your name, a pseudonym, or simply "Anonymous fan".

Every submission is read by a curator first. Nothing appears on the site until it has been reviewed and approved.
