This agreement requests information about or related to the author or artist of the story submitted, for the following purposes:

1) Notifying winners of the Writing Contests;

2) Verifying eligibility and grade classification for prize award purposes;

3) Delivering prizes to winners;

4) Giving global recognition to those individuals, teachers and schools, whose skills and commitment to educational excellence, have resulted in exceptional accomplishments.

The StudentLibrary / BooksByChildren do not seek or collect information from children apart from that agreement [which must be signed by the parent or legal guardian if the student is 16 or younger], and parents or legal guardians should maintain, for their records, a copy of the information sent to the library.
