Congrats everyone, great images

A couple of questions about the images to be uploaded.

Are watermarks allowed or not ?
What sort of credit will be given to the photographer ?
As in would their website address be printed with the photograph ?
Will the book/video be the only time the photo is published ?

Many thanks

I just uploaded my pics but it says "This gallery is empty".

Just wondering if they actually got uploaded.

Edit: I found them in "Your photo feed" but it's not showing up in the PT gallery.
