In order to give public access to the winning works, the author hereby
grants, assigns, and transfers unto the sponsor, the right without necessity
of any payment other than the prize which may have been awarded: to publish
from time to time any winning entry or selection or portion thereof as it may
at its discretion determine; to designate or appoint editors to edit the work
or any portion thereof to suit the demands of publication; to furnish a
reasonable number of copies of all winning works to the National Library or
other libraries; to make the work available for downloading on the Internet or
other electronic medium; and/or to allow students to make copies for research
or in connection with their school requirements. Furthermore, in the case of
the One-act play, Full-length Play, Teleplay and Screenplay, in addition to
the sponsor’s right of publication, the sponsor shall also have the right to
produce, or authorize to be produced, for staging, telecasting, broadcasting,
or cinema or other form of exhibition, from time to time, any winning entry or
selection or portions thereof as it may at its discretion determine; or to
appoint or designate editors or directors who may edit the work or any portion
thereof to suit the demands of production or exhibition.
To promote Philippine Literature in the modern world of
information technology, the sponsor intends to make available the winning
entries on the Internet or other electronic medium, to serve as the literary
archives of the contest. The website or other medium to be established for
this purpose shall thereby be a repository of the compilation of the
award-winning works, recording the history of the development of Philippine
literature over the years through the Palanca Awards.
In making the works thus available to interested
researchers and students of Philippine literature, however, the sponsor has no
intention to commercially exploit the works which are being made available to
the public purely to promote literary appreciation and public awareness for
such works. Should any author instruct the sponsor in writing to exclude his
work from the Internet archives, such instruction will be honored and the work
shall be excluded therefrom within a reasonable time from sponsor’s receipt
of the instructions.
In connection with the grant, assignment, or transfer to the sponsor of the
right to publication, re-publication, production, reproduction or exhibition
as stated in paragraph 19 of these rules, and pursuant to the requirements of
R.A. No. 8293, entries must be accompanied by the author’s written consent
to abide by the rules of the contest acknowledged before a Notary Public. In
the case of minors, particularly with respect to the Kabataan Essay category,
the written consent of the parents or legal guardians shall also be required.
The appropriate forms are available at the Carlos Palanca Foundation, Inc.
The exercise of the above rights by the sponsor shall not
be deemed a waiver of any right of action the sponsor of this contest may have
against the author, if it may be later on discovered that said person is not
the creator or owner of the copyright to the award winning work.
