Parent/Guardian Consent—Young Author’s Grant

To complete your student’s application for the Crown & Ashe Young Author’s Grant, we require parental or guardian consent. Please read the statement below and complete the form. Applications without a completed consent form will not be considered.

Consent Form

I am the parent/legal guardian of the applicant named below. I give permission for my child to participate in the Crown & Ashe Young Author’s Grant (ages 14–18).

I understand that:

  • If selected as the winner, my child will receive a $500 Visa gift card. If my child is selected as the winner, I consent for the $500 Visa gift card to be awarded directly to my child. If I prefer, I may request that the prize be awarded to me as parent/guardian instead. If I elect to receive the prize myself, I affirm that the funds will be given to my child in accordance with my parenting responsibilities, and I release Crown & Ashe from liability regarding the use of the funds once delivered.

  • If selected as the winner or finalist, my child’s work may be published on Crown & Ashe’s website, shared on our social channels, and featured in promotional materials.

  • Copyright remains with my child; Crown & Ashe will hold a non-exclusive right to publish and promote their work.

  • My child may be invited to participate in a virtual mentorship workshop if chosen as a finalist.

  • Crown & Ashe will only collect and store information necessary to administer this grant, and we will never sell or misuse data.

By signing below, I consent to my child’s participation and agree to the terms above.
