Eligibility for collective licensing royalties

All artists and creators, including illustrators, sculptors, photographers, cartoonists, designers and architects, may be eligible. Beneficiaries and heirs of artists or creators can also claim. 

You're eligible if:

  • you own the copyright for the works you are claiming for
  • your work has ever appeared in a UK book, magazine or TV programme
  • you can provide examples and proof of where your work has featured 

Even older or one-off uses may count. You don’t need to be published recently or frequently.
