? Libraries, promote the contest to your patrons with new materials in the Marketing Kit.

Now some “fine print” stuff:

1. Only library patrons using Transparent Language Online for Libraries are eligible. Individual subscribers or users sponsored by any other organization are not eligible, sorry!
2. You must have an email associated with your account (either your username or entered in your user profile) so we can contact you. No email in the account = not eligible to win.
3. Learning time = time spent doing lessons, refreshing Learned Vocab, or doing Practice activities in Transparent Language Online on web or mobile.
4. The contest runs from 12:01am EST on July 26, 2024 to 11:59pm EST on August 11, 2024. Only learning time completed during that time will count.
5. We will select the winners based on learning time completed, but reserve the right not to choose a specific user for any reason. Winners will be announced by August 30, 2024 and contacted by email. Failure to reply to the email within 7 days forfeits the prize and a new winner will be selected.
6. Prizes are Amazon gift cards amounting to $150, $100, and $50 respectively, and a $100 gift card for the associated library. If the winning patrons and/or libraries are not in the US, we will try to accommodate their local currency. Applicable exchange rates will be applied.
7. Participants must be age 13+ to win a gift card. Parental consent will be required before awarding a gift card to anyone under 18. If not given, we will choose another winner.
