DACS has a share of over £3 million in Payback royalties to pay to BIPP members whose work has been reproduced in UK books and magazines or broadcast on certain UK television channels.
Last
year the average royalty payment made to a BIPP member was
£600 and the highest payment was £5,340. What’s more anyone who makes a successful
Payback claim is guaranteed a minimum of £25.
Payback
royalties come from revenue generated through various UK collective licensing
schemes and include the photocopying of books and magazines by local government
departments, universities and other businesses. DACS negotiates a share of this
collective licensing revenue which we distribute to thousands of visual artists
each year through Payback.
BIPP members have until 31 October 2012 to claim their share and those who
qualify for Payback will receive their royalties in December.
The
easiest way to claim is to fill in a form online at www.dacs.org.uk/for-artists/payback.
Alternatively
photographers can request a paper claim form by contacting DACS on 020 7553 9099
or payback@dacs.org.uk
