Here's a question - Lots of public domain imagery is for non-commercial use
Does being a competition, make the 48hrs commercial?
In the T and Cs for entry, teams agree to license 48Hours the use of their film for 24 months, worldwide, for a variety of uses, some of which could be commercial - i.e. if we supplied them to a broadcaster who screened it with adverts around it.
So yes, it would be best to allow for commercial use. You can also ask the people you're getting the image from - they may be OK with a film competition.
Its always best to ask.

Here's another one - Are memes royalty free or public domain?
Probably not - you will need to check each meme - if it uses an image that the creator has made or that is old enough to be in the public domain, or is creative commons licensed then it might be.
I'd suggest avoiding anything on the internet and make your own.

Totally. If you use your own imagery but dress it up in the style of a meme everyone will understand what you're getting at. Don't risk everything on something so trivial when it's so easy to knock up your own.
