ADVERTISING RULES Regulations for the use of Academy Award symbols and references to the Oscar-winning plays and players for advertising and exploitation pur¬ poses are: No film or achievement which has not won an Academy Award may be advertised or exploited in a manner which will mislead the public and imply by design, layout or wording of copy, that the film or achievement has won the Academy Award. Pictures nominated for specific Awards may be so advertised providing: that no reproduction of an Awards symbol is used; that the word "nomi¬ nations" or the words "nominated for" appear in the same size, style and color of types as the words "Academy Award"; that the achievement for which the nomination has been voted is in¬ cluded in the advertising. Honorary Awards which are conferred only by vote of the Academy Board of Governors must be clearly defined in all advertising as Honorary Awards and must specify the accomplishments for which the recognition was accorded. Honorary Awards shall not be so advertised or exploited that the public will confuse an Honorary Award with an Award voted by the Academy member¬ ship. When an Honorary Award has been conferred for a technique or for a series of motion pictures, the Award symbol granted for that Honorary Award may be used in advertising such technique or series providing: that the year and accomplish¬ ment for which the Honorary Award was given is included in the advertising; that only the symbol presented for the technique or series is used, and not the statuette unless the statuette was the symbol so presented. Academy Award symbols (statuette or plaque) may be used without special written permission only (a) To advertise the specific achievement for which the Award was given; (b) To refer to the presentation of the annual Academy Awards as an event; and (c) In connection with stories and articles referring to the Academy as an organization. Permission to use the Academy Award symbols for any other purposes whatsoever must be obtained in writing from the Academy.
