If you plan to tape entries for students and will need a signed form, consider using the Print Entry Form. [Note: the information from the print form will also need to be entered into the online entry form by the contest entry deadline.]  You may also consider using a permission form (click here for a sample permission form in Microsoft Word).

The publicity materials below can be used to publicize the contest in your school or library.

Both StoryPalooza in 2007 and the StoryTubes 2008 Contest were dependent on schools and public libraries working cooperatively.

Schools often secured parental permission, worked with students to develop their online booktalks, and provided technical expertise to tape and upload the entries.

Public library partners structured the contests, provided the staff time to review entries and manage the event, and secured prizes.

To find out more about taping and uploading videos, please email Denise Raleigh or call at (847) 429-5981. To find out more about the contest or its rules, please email Faith Brautigam or call at (847) 429-5970.
