It might be a nice courtesy to list the name of the photographer on the web
site if it's a deifferent person from the entrant. But from a legal
standpoint, that's not the issue. The issue is whether the entrant has the
permission of the photographer to use the photo in this manner. To cover
OUR butts, it might be best to have a line on the entry form to identify
the photographer, and a check box asking the entrant to attach a copy of
their written permission to use the photo.
There's probably not much of an issue, because there will be very few
professional photographers taking photos for entrants without knowing ahead
of time the exact purpose of the photos, but it never hurts to be careful.
