What we collect

[SOURCE NEEDED: enumerate the fields collected at entry.] We collect this information to administer the festival and to publish public records of awards and performances.

How we display names of minors

For performers under 16, the default public display is "first name, last initial" (for example, "Jane S."). Parents may opt up to a full name display at entry. Most scholarship applicants choose to do so for verification.

Performers 16 and older grant their own consent for full name display, with parent co-signature if still a minor.

Photo and name consent

Photo consent is separate from name display consent. Read our full photo and name consent policy.

Adjudicator comments

Adjudicator comments are not published publicly without explicit student and parent consent.

Opt-out

You can opt out of public listing or photo use at any time, including retroactively. Email vpafestival@gmail.com with the performer's name and the year. [SOURCE NEEDED: removal SLA.]

Data retention

[SOURCE NEEDED: retention period for entry and award records.] [SOURCE NEEDED: retention period for personal contact information.]
