<h1>Partnership between beauty institute and pageant raises consent, image use, liability, IP, duration, and advertising compliance issues</h1> A beauty training institute entered a commercial partnership with a national pageant organiser to serve as the official beauty education partner for the 2025 competition, providing nearly 300 students for backstage roles, mentorship, masterclasses and a branded award. The arrangement involved practical training, promotional use of participants' images and a bespoke award presented at the finale. Key legal considerations include scope and duration of the partnership, consent and releases for student participation and image use, liability and insurance for backstage activities, intellectual property and branding rights, and compliance with advertising and consumer-protection regulations.
