| Q: Do parents have to submit an entry as well? |
| A: Key to the project is the understanding that parents demonstrate support for their children's efforts. Parents can choose any medium to describe their support. They can write a letter, poems, film a video, or whatever they wish. Please remember that the judges review the parent's entry as well as that of the child. |
