I hereby grant and assign to the California Coastal Commission (CCC) the non-exclusive right and permission to use, re-use, publish, re-publish, and otherwise reproduce and display the original writing or artwork that I have submitted to the CCC, in any and all media, for any purpose whatsoever; and to include the artist or writer’s name and grade level to identify the work. I hereby release and discharge the CCC from any and all claims and demands arising out of or in connection with the use of the original artwork or writing, including without limitations any and all claims for libel or invasion of privacy. In any of the winning categories, the CCC maintains the exclusive right to declare no winner and withhold prizes. The CCC assumes no responsibility for lost or damaged poetry or artwork. The CCC may sell, assign, license, or otherwise transfer all rights granted to it hereunder. I have read the foregoing and fully understand the contents thereof. This release shall be binding upon me and my heirs, legal representatives, and assigns. I further release the CCC from any responsibility for injury incurred during the research or production of the original writing or artwork. I, being the parent or guardian of the above-named minor, consent to and join in the foregoing release and consent on behalf of said minor.

Yes No

Pledge of originality: This poem or artwork is my child's original work. If my child's poem is a reference to an existing poem, that poem or poet is named on their entry. They did not trace someone else's artwork or photography, or digitally alter a photo or image that was created by someone else. Their art is not AI-generated. If they used an image created by someone else as a model for an art entry (a photo of an animal, for example), their artwork is significantly different to avoid plagiarism. No hands other than my child's were involved in the creation of an artwork entry. If I am a student over the age of 18, I pledge this on my own behalf.
