Tony Award

Portion used

Extraneous background portions of the image have been cropped for the purposes of article formatting. However, the Tony Award is shown in its entirety to avoid misrepresenting the intended image. This is not believed to make the work as a whole less valuable to the copyright holder.

Low resolution?

The image has been resized to provide the reader with a reasonable understanding of the award's appearance, without being unnecessarily high resolution.

Purpose of use
  1. The image is used as the primary means of visual identification for the article's subject matter.
  2. It is believed that the representation of the Antoinette Perry Award medallion in the Tony Award article on Wikipedia, which refers to the annual Tony Awards as an event and describes the purpose and history of the Tony Award itself, constitutes fair use under United States copyright law.
Replaceable?

There are no free equivalents of this image since all depictions of the Tony Award medallion are subject to the copyright regulations of the American Theatre Wing. No image showing the Tony Award medallion can claim to be free, regardless of the license under which it may be released on Wikipedia. Any other Tony Award related images, including Tony Award icons created by Wikipedia users, or photos of look-alike Tony Award medallions would not accurately represent the genuine Tony Award.
