To Write Art offers a limited number of scholarships each year across all three programs: Perception, Non-Human Art, and Art Intersections. Scholarships provide selected recipients with full twelve-month access to one program of their choosing at no cost, including all curriculum materials in digital PDF and hard copy format. Scholarships are awarded entirely at the sole discretion of To Write Art.
23.2 Eligibility and Award
A maximum of three scholarship places are available per program per year — nine places in total across the full trilogy. Places are limited. Submitting an application does not guarantee a place. Each applicant may apply for one program per year. Unsuccessful applicants are welcome to reapply in a subsequent year.
23.3 Selection
Recipients are selected based on the strength and sincerity of their application. Genuine interest in self-directed learning and creative curiosity are considered. Academic qualifications are not a requirement.
23.4 Application
Applications are accepted on a rolling basis throughout the year. There is no fixed deadline. Once available places for the year have been filled, applications will close until the following year. To Write Art reserves the right to close applications at any time once places are filled. To Write Art endeavours to respond to all applications within four weeks of receiving the required materials. All applicants will be notified of the outcome of their application by email.
23.5 Program Access
Upon receipt of a signed Scholarship Acceptance Agreement, the recipient will be provided with a secure downloadable link to access their selected program and identical hard copy. Scholarship recipients receive the same program access as purchasing students.
23.6 No Obligations
Scholarship recipients are under no obligation to provide testimonials, reviews, written feedback, or public endorsements of any kind. Participation in the Weekly Self Check-In, Zoom meetings, artwork submission, and public sharing of artwork remain entirely optional for scholarship recipients, as they are for all students. To Write Art will never contact the recipient for marketing purposes without their explicit consent.
23.7 Non-Transferability
Scholarships are awarded to the named recipient only and may not be transferred, gifted, or assigned to any other individual under any circumstances. Scholarships have no cash value.
23.8 Confidentiality and Intellectual Property
All program materials provided under the scholarship are strictly confidential. Scholarship recipients are bound by the same confidentiality and intellectual property obligations as purchasing students, as outlined in Sections 4 and 5 of these Terms. The scholarship grants the recipient a personal, non-transferable licence for individual use only. Nothing in the scholarship award transfers any ownership rights to the recipient.
23.9 Revocation
To Write Art reserves the right to revoke a scholarship and terminate access to program materials at any time in the event of a breach of the Scholarship Acceptance Agreement or these Terms, including but not limited to unauthorised reproduction or distribution of program materials.

To Write Art is an independent initiative. It is not affiliated with any government body, university, or institution, and receives no government funding. Scholarships are funded entirely by To Write Art.
24. ZOOM DISCUSSIONS
24.1 Optional Participation
Zoom discussions are an optional component of the To Write Art programs. Students may choose whether or not to participate in Zoom discussions. If a student does not feel comfortable participating in a live online discussion, they are not required to attend.
24.2 Age Requirement
Participation in Zoom discussions is restricted to students who are 18 years of age or older, or who have reached the applicable legal age of majority in their country or region, where that age is higher than 18.
Students who are under 18, or who have not reached the applicable legal age of majority in their jurisdiction, are not permitted to participate in To Write Art Zoom discussions. This restriction applies regardless of whether a parent or guardian has provided consent for the student to participate in the To Write Art program generally.
24.3 Accuracy of Age Information
Students are responsible for providing accurate information regarding their age when registering for or joining a Zoom discussion.
Students must not misrepresent, falsify, or conceal their age in order to gain access to a Zoom discussion.
By registering for or participating in a Zoom discussion, you confirm that the age information you have provided is accurate and that you meet the applicable age requirement.
To Write Art reserves the right to refuse, restrict, suspend, or terminate a student's participation in Zoom discussions if there is reason to believe that the student does not meet the applicable age requirement or has provided false or misleading information.
24.4 Student Conduct
All students participating in Zoom discussions are expected to communicate respectfully and appropriately with other participants.
Students must not:
engage in harassment, bullying, threats, intimidation, or abusive behaviour;
use hate speech or discriminatory or hateful language;
make threatening, sexually inappropriate, or otherwise inappropriate comments;
deliberately disrupt the discussion or prevent others from participating;
impersonate another person or provide false information;
share another participant's personal information without permission;
record, photograph, screenshot, reproduce, or distribute the Zoom discussion or another participant's contribution without appropriate permission; or
engage in any conduct that To Write Art reasonably considers inappropriate, unsafe, unlawful, or disruptive.
24.5 Comments and Conduct of Other Participants
Zoom discussions involve interaction between students, and participants may express opinions, interpretations, experiences, or comments that To Write Art does not endorse or agree with.
To Write Art is not responsible for the independent statements, opinions, interpretations, language, conduct, or behaviour of individual participants, except to the extent required by law.
To Write Art does not guarantee that all comments made by participants will align with the views, values, or educational approach of To Write Art.
Students are responsible for exercising their own judgement when engaging with comments or opinions expressed by other participants.
Nothing in this section limits any rights or protections that cannot legally be excluded under applicable law.
24.6 Moderation and Removal from Meetings
To Write Art reserves the right to moderate Zoom discussions and take reasonable action where necessary to maintain a respectful and appropriate environment.
To Write Art may:
issue a warning to a participant;
ask a participant to stop a particular behaviour or comment;
mute a participant;
remove a participant from the Zoom meeting;
end a Zoom discussion early; or
restrict or terminate a participant's access to future Zoom discussions.
Such action may be taken where a participant engages in hate speech, harassment, abusive or threatening behaviour, discriminatory conduct, inappropriate language, disruptive behaviour, unlawful conduct, or any other conduct that To Write Art reasonably considers unsuitable for the discussion environment.
To Write Art is not required to provide advance notice before removing a participant where immediate action is considered necessary.
24.7 Privacy and Personal Information
Students should exercise care when sharing personal information during Zoom discussions.
Students must not disclose another participant's private, personal, or identifying information without that person's permission.
Participants acknowledge that Zoom is a third-party video conferencing platform and that use of Zoom may be subject to Zoom's own terms, conditions, privacy practices, and technical requirements.
24.8 Technical Issues and Access
To Write Art will make reasonable efforts to provide scheduled Zoom discussions. However, access may be affected by technical problems, internet connectivity, Zoom outages, scheduling changes, or circumstances outside To Write Art's reasonable control.
To Write Art does not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free access to every Zoom discussion and may reschedule or cancel a discussion where reasonably necessary.
24.9 Recording and Distribution
Unless expressly authorised by To Write Art, students must not record, reproduce, publish, upload, distribute, or otherwise share any Zoom discussion, including video, audio, screenshots, chat messages, or other participant contributions.
Students must not use another participant's contribution, name, image, voice, or personal information outside the Zoom discussion without appropriate permission.
24.10 Acknowledgement of Live Discussion Environment
By participating in a Zoom discussion, students acknowledge that the discussion is a live, interactive environment involving other participants and that To Write Art cannot completely control what another participant may say or do.
Students who do not wish to participate in such an environment may choose not to attend.
Participation in Zoom discussions constitutes acceptance of the requirements and conduct standards set out in this section.

26. PARTNERSHIPS AND COLLABORATIONS
To Write Art may enter into collaborative arrangements with organisations, community groups, educational initiatives, schools, community programs, and other entities. Any partnership, sponsorship, funding arrangement, pilot program, subsidised access program, or collaborative project will be subject to a separate written agreement between To Write Art and the relevant organisation.
The information provided on the Creative Collaborations page is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute a binding offer, guarantee, or entitlement to a partnership, sponsorship, funding, subsidy, discount, program access, or other benefit.
To Write Art reserves the right to accept, decline, modify, postpone, or discontinue collaboration opportunities at its discretion, subject to any obligations contained in an existing written agreement.
Where a collaboration involves participants receiving access to To Write Art programs, the collaborating organisation is responsible for determining whether the program is suitable for its participants and, where applicable, for providing any supervision, support, safeguarding, or other services that the organisation ordinarily provides.
Unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing, To Write Art programs remain self-directed educational resources and participation in a collaboration does not create a teacher-student, counselling, mentoring, supervisory, or instructional relationship between To Write Art and participants.
26.1 No Automatic Entitlement
Contacting To Write Art, submitting a collaboration enquiry, completing a collaboration form, or participating in discussions regarding a potential collaboration does not create a binding agreement or give any organisation or participant an automatic entitlement to funding, subsidies, discounts, free access, program materials, or other benefits.
Any specific collaboration arrangements will only take effect once agreed in writing by To Write Art and the relevant organisation.
26.2 Program Ownership and Intellectual Property
Regardless of the type, nature, duration, or purpose of any collaboration, partnership, sponsorship, pilot program, subsidised access arrangement, funded program, or other collaborative arrangement, no collaboration grants the collaborating organisation or any participant ownership of, or intellectual property rights in, any To Write Art program or program materials.
All To Write Art programs, including their written content, curriculum, concepts, tasks, frameworks, structure, layout, graphics, designs, and other associated materials, remain the property and intellectual property of To Write Art and are protected by applicable copyright and intellectual property laws.
Collaborating organisations and participants may not modify, alter, reproduce, adapt, translate, redistribute, repackage, or create derivative versions of any To Write Art program or program materials without the prior written permission of To Write Art.
Any agreed modification, adaptation, or use of To Write Art program materials must be expressly authorised in writing by To Write Art. Permission to use, distribute, or deliver program materials as part of a collaboration does not constitute a transfer of ownership or intellectual property rights.
26.3 No Affiliation or Endorsement
Unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing, a collaboration does not constitute an endorsement, accreditation, sponsorship, or formal affiliation between To Write Art and the collaborating organisation.
Neither party may represent that the other party has endorsed its products, services, views, or activities without prior written permission.
26.4 Separate Agreements
Where a separate written partnership or collaboration agreement exists, the terms of that agreement will take precedence over these Terms and Conditions in relation to the relevant collaboration.

To Write Art may request reasonable evidence of authorship or the creation process, including preliminary sketches, working files, drafts, source images, process photographs, or a written explanation of the participant's approach.
Failure to provide reasonable verification when requested may result in an entry being deemed ineligible.
27.16 Judging and Selection of Winners
Eligible entries will be assessed according to the judging process and criteria specified in the official rules for the relevant Quest or competition.
Judging criteria may include originality, conceptual depth, artistic execution, creative interpretation, experimentation, responsiveness to the Quest challenge, and other criteria relevant to the event.

Where reasonably practicable, To Write Art will take steps to manage conflicts of interest in the judging process.
27.17 Skill-Based Competitions

27.18 Judging Decisions
Judging decisions will be made in accordance with the published criteria and the rules applicable to the relevant event.

The awards available for each Quest or competition will be described in its official rules.
Awards may include certificates of achievement, certificates of participation, access to To Write Art programs, recognition on the To Write Art website or social media platforms, exhibition opportunities, or other benefits expressly identified for that event.
Not every Quest or competition will offer the same awards or number of prizes.

27.23 Acceptance of Awards
To Write Art may require a winner to confirm acceptance of an award, provide information reasonably necessary for delivery, and complete any relevant forms.
If a selected winner cannot be contacted, declines the award, fails to satisfy the eligibility requirements, or does not respond within a stated reasonable timeframe, To Write Art may withdraw the award and select an alternative winner in accordance with the event rules.
27.24 Intellectual Property and Artwork Ownership
Participants retain ownership and copyright of their original artwork at all times, subject to any rights belonging to third parties in materials incorporated into the work.
Entering a Quest or competition does not transfer ownership of an artwork to To Write Art.
To Write Art does not acquire ownership of submitted artwork merely because it receives, reviews, judges, stores, or displays an entry in accordance with the permissions provided by the participant.
27.25 Permission to Display Artwork
Participants may be asked during registration or submission to indicate whether they consent to To Write Art displaying their artwork.
Where permission is granted, the participant provides To Write Art with a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to display the artwork on the official To Write Art website, official social media accounts, and other specifically identified To Write Art platforms for the purposes described in the relevant consent request.
The licence will be limited to the purposes, platforms, and duration described in the applicable consent request or event rules.
Permission to display artwork does not automatically grant permission to sell it, license it to third parties, commercially reproduce it, or use it for unrelated purposes.
27.26 Promotional Use and Winner Profiles
To Write Art may request separate permission to use selected artwork, a participant's name, artist biography, photograph, interview, or written profile for promotional purposes.
Where such permission is required, the participant will be informed of the intended use and asked to provide the relevant consent.
Participants under the legal age of majority must obtain any required parent or guardian consent before their artwork or personal information is used in this manner.
27.27 No Unauthorised Commercial Use
Unless separately agreed in writing, To Write Art will not sell participants' submitted artwork, grant commercial licences to third parties, or commercially reproduce their artwork for unrelated products or services.
Any proposed use outside the permissions granted by the participant will require appropriate additional permission.
27.28 Artist Credit
Where artwork is displayed publicly, To Write Art will make reasonable efforts to credit the artist by the name or attribution preference provided by the participant.
Participants may request anonymity or a pseudonym where the applicable publication arrangements permit it.
To Write Art cannot guarantee that third parties will preserve artist credits when sharing artwork outside its control.
27.29 Withdrawal of Permission
Participants may withdraw permission for future display of their artwork by emailing towriteart@hotmail.com.
Requests must identify the artwork and the relevant Quest or competition. To Write Art may request reasonable verification of the requester's identity or authority.
To Write Art will make reasonable efforts to remove the artwork from platforms it controls within 14 days of receiving and verifying a valid request, unless a different timeframe is required by law or has been expressly agreed.
Withdrawal will not retrospectively invalidate uses lawfully made before the request was received. It may not be possible to retrieve copies already downloaded, shared, archived, or reproduced by third parties, or to remove material from systems outside To Write Art's control.
27.30 Protection of Submitted Artwork
To Write Art will take reasonable steps to manage and protect submitted artwork in accordance with its Privacy Policy and applicable law.
However, public display on websites or social media may expose artwork to copying, screenshots, downloading, or redistribution by other internet users.
To Write Art cannot guarantee that third parties will not misuse publicly accessible artwork. Participants should consider this risk before consenting to public display.
27.31 Non-Winning Entries
The official entry process may allow participants to choose whether their artwork may be displayed if it is not selected as a winning entry.
Where such a choice is offered, the participant's stated preference will be respected, subject to any separate permissions expressly granted by the participant.
Permission to display a non-winning entry is not a condition of participation unless the relevant event rules clearly state otherwise.
27.32 Private Entries
Where a participant has requested that their entry remain private, To Write Art will not publicly display that entry unless the participant subsequently provides appropriate permission or disclosure is otherwise required or authorised by law.
27.33 Retention and Deletion

If a winner is disqualified or an award is withdrawn, To Write Art may select an alternative eligible recipient in accordance with the relevant event rules.
27.39 Technical Issues and Submission Risks
To Write Art will make reasonable efforts to provide accessible registration and submission methods. However, participants acknowledge that online services may be affected by technical difficulties or interruptions.

27.40 Cancellation, Modification, and Unforeseen Circumstances
To Write Art reserves the right to make reasonable changes to a Quest or competition where necessary for its proper administration, fairness, safety, or compliance with applicable law.

Any material changes will be communicated through the official event webpage, relevant communication channels, or directly to registered participants where reasonably practicable.

Where reasonably practicable, To Write Art will notify registered participants and explain any material consequences for existing entries or awards.
To Write Art will take reasonable steps to treat participants fairly when making such decisions.
27.42 No Guarantee of Future Events
The organisation of a Quest or competition in one year does not guarantee that the same event, theme, format, or award structure will be offered in subsequent years.
To Write Art may introduce new Quests, discontinue existing events, or revise their structure at its discretion, subject to any existing obligations and applicable law.
27.43 Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, To Write Art is not liable for losses arising from circumstances outside its reasonable control or from a participant's failure to comply with the published entry requirements.
Nothing in these Terms and Conditions excludes, restricts, or modifies any consumer guarantee, statutory right, remedy, or liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or restricted under Australian law or other applicable law.
To the extent permitted by law, To Write Art does not guarantee that participation will result in an award, publication, professional opportunity, increased recognition, or any particular artistic outcome.
