[stylist] contests

[Applebutter Hill]

Hi Atty,
Thanks for posting these links, as they are very timely for me. I am
thinking of how best to establish an art contest in middle schools based on
my novel. I'm guessing I'm a year or more away from actually doing it. I've
been laying the ground-work of establishing relationships with local
librarians by donating the book, which has already had both pre &
post-publication reviews from professionals in education as a diversity,
inclusion and antibullying resource. I have some connections at area
colleges, which I hope I can use to get art students to help with the
judging, and I'm working on some pilot projects to get a few classes to read
it to hopefully get some reference letters from the teachers.

Anyway, I didn't know all of this stuff about the difference in the laws in
different states. My thinking at the moment is to limit it to Pennsylvania
and perhaps to get a nonprofit partner. The one article that mentioned
liability scared me, since I don't have an actual company.
Cheers,
Donna

Not sure if this went through.



Not saying the law is a fact, just trying to get info. Here are a few links
that mention it.
