Twisters Media Release

All individuals who may appear in any media content as a part of Gymnastics BC Sanctioned Virtual Events must complete this media release form. This includes individuals who may appear on camera but are not competing in the event themselves. 

Gymnastics BC requires its member clubs to comply with requirements outlined in its Return to Sport Plan (https://gymbc.org/2020-06-05/gbc-return-to-sport-plan/) and its Return to Competition Plan (gymbc.org/public/uploads/Return-to-Competition.pdf). These requirements are based on viaSport’s Return to Sport Guidelines, Provincial Health Officer ministerial orders, and WorkSafeBC requirements, and may change from time to time. 

Virtual Competitions that are contested through shared video performances of gymnasts are a part of GBC’s Return to Competition Plan. To successfully manage the large amount of video files and data (to organize athlete performances) in virtual competitions, all GBC virtual competitions will require the use of public video sharing websites (e.g., YouTube). GBC requires each member club to ensure that all individuals who appear in media content (video, pictures, and competition information) consent to the sharing of this content. Therefore, only individuals that have completed this Media Release Form are eligible to enter GBC sanctioned events. GBC member clubs will retain electronic or hard copies of this form to be produced if required. 

A parent/guardian of each athlete/participant under the age of 19 must complete the form by filling in the Parent Guardian Name (If Athlete/Participant is under age 19)

Athletes/participants age 13 and older must also complete the form. 

Any other individuals (and their parent/guardian depending on their age) appearing in media content that will be shared publicly must also complete this form. 

Completing this Media Release Form is a requirement to enter Gymnastics BC sanctioned competitions. 

By submitting my or Parent Guardian signature below, both the participant and Parent/Guardian have read, understand, acknowledge, and agree to the terms and information outlined in this Media Release Form and agree to allow Gymnastics BC and its member clubs to share media content (video and photos, and information regarding competition results) publicly through websites, social media and video sharing platforms (e.g., YouTube).
