Policy Statement:

1. The OWMG will not knowingly display or distribute copyrighted images.
2. If you find an image on this site that is your copyrighted property, and if you wish us to remove it, then please inform the Graphics department graphics@owmg.org with the page and designation of the graphic in question. In the future we will make every effort to insure that any new images we acquire are free to use, and will suggest that all visiting brothers make this effort as well.
3. There are many hundreds of Masonic graphics in circulation on the net.  A few of these are listed as being copyrighted, while a great percentage are not readily identifiable as such.  Most of these graphics have been copied back and forth among the fraternal web sites until it is practically impossible to identify their originator. If no copyright notice is found, we will continue to distribute these images on our pages in keeping with our stated goal of assisting Masonic webmasters in creating and maintaining their Lodge sites.
4.  In no instance, even with graphics that our members have created, do we intend to claim exclusive ownership to the displayed graphics.  We offer them freely for use within the Masonic Fraternity.  One exception to this would be our Awards graphic which must be earned by originality, content, and overall benefit to The Craft.
