Some concerns have been expressed regarding the wording of the last paragraph on Festival Registration forms. We require this paragraph to be signed and as it is already published in the syllabus we would like to suggest that you read it carefully and decide which options you would consent to.
The three components which the participant, parent/legal guardian or teacher may agree or disagree with are:
1. The undersigned (participant, parent/legal guardian or teacher) consents to and authorizes the use of his/her name.
2. The undersigned (participant, parent/legal guardian or teacher) consents to and authorizes the use of images.
3. The undersigned (participant, parent/legal guardian or teacher) consents to be contacted by e-mail and social media with information about the festival.
The Board of Directors apologizes for the inconvenience and suggests that the participant, parent/legal guardian or teacher draw a line through the statement(s) with which he/she disagrees, initials and then signs the registration form. As an example, if the participant agrees to have his/her photograph taken and does not mind his/her name being used BUT does not want to be contacted by e-mail, he/she would draw a line through the statement “and also consents to be contacted by e-mail and social media by festival with information about the festival.”
We also request:
• that you be aware that although our language says “participant”, that participant should be 19 years or older if he/she is giving permission for photographs and names to be used, otherwise a parent/legal guardian should sign on behalf of the participant.
• teachers of individual students must ensure that parents sign the form whether giving or denying permission for the students’ names and/or images to be used by the festival.
• teachers of groups should draw a line through the statement “ and also consents to and authorizes the use of his/her name and/or images——-records” as it appears on the form ( because teachers cannot give consent on behalf of their students.)
