A convention is a great place for taking photos: there’s plenty of cool things worth turning into con memories — celebrity sightings, cool displays, and plenty of people in costumes. At a Star Wars convention, expect most of the costumers to be your fellow fans, so here’s some important etiquette for taking pictures of or with folks in costume:
StarWars.com is looking to celebrate fans all around the world this year, so they want your photos! They are looking for pictures of you in your Star Wars costumes at your local and area landmarks.
Here’s the instructions from Lucasfilm:
Share this message with your Star Wars friends.
Take pictures in your Star Wars costumes (UPDATE: or Star Wars apparel!) with your local landmarks.
Turn in the pictures with a signed copy of the release form (email or fax) to fanevents@starwars.com, or 1-415-623-1107 (FAX: Attn: Mary Franklin). (Hint: don’t fax the photos!)
Be sure to name the landmark, and area/city/country.
You can start turning them in at any time. The sooner the better!
The deadline is April 22nd to turn in pictures. But we’ll start putting them up soon after we get them
