The Event or Competition - Oratacular

The Oratacular (the “Event” or “Competition”) is a totally skill-based Event. It is open to any child who as of February 2020 (i) is in grades 1st -8 in the U.S. and Canada and (ii) can attend a registered center to participate. Please see our website, http://www.oratacular.com where parents can learn more about the Event, including registering your child. Each student (“Participant”) will prepare their speech according to the provided materials and topic. Parents, please contact the registered center for specific date and time within the month of February 2020. Students will compete with other participants at the registered center. Prizes and awards will vary per location, so speak with the Center Director of your registered center to learn more.

Donation to National Center for Families Learning

Eye Level will donate $1 to the National Center for Families Learning (https://www.familieslearning.org/) for every child that attends the first-round event at one of our learning centers.

Winner Selection Process and Criteria:

First Round: The Center Director will choose one student winner from each registered center to record a video of their speech. At the choice of the winner’s parent, the video can be submitted to Eye Level’s Corporate Headquarters in New Jersey for consideration in the final round.

North America (U.S. and Canada) Final Round: Judges at Eye Level Corporate will evaluate the speech and will count for 80% of this round’s selection of winners. The other 20% will be based on YouTube voting via “Likes” on the student videos. Judging will be based on a set rubric; “Likes” on YouTube will be weighted against the top “Like” vote winner. Please contact by email (evenusa@myeyelevel.com) if you would like more information on the winner selection process.

Prizes Awarded

All gold and silver winners will also receive a trophy and certificate.

Gold Winners: Four gold winners will be selected based on the combined score of the judges and YouTube “Likes” as explained above.

Information Collected by http://www.oratacular.com. The website http://www.oratacular.com collects two types of personally identifying information from users: personal data (such as names and email addresses); and aggregated data (such as information about traffic patterns on http://www.oratacular.com , for example how many users log into on a daily basis).

Personal Data

Personal Data. Personal data is collected when users provide personal data to http://www.oratacular.com (hereafter, "the website") , for example in registering for electronic newsletters or other membership services, in answering surveys, and registering for contests and other promotional opportunities provided by http://www.oratacular.com. Also, we collect the email addresses of users who send messages to our website administrator or post messages to any of our message boards and chat areas.

Aggregated Information.

Aggregated information, such as which pages users access or visit and information volunteered by users, such as survey information and/or site registrations, is collected through various methods. For example, the website collects IP addresses. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the Web. Web servers, the computers that “serve up” Web pages, automatically identify your computer by its IP address, and when you request a page from our website our servers log your IP address. The website does not link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable, so although your session will be logged, you will remain anonymous to us. The website collects IP addresses for the purposes of system administration and to provide aggregate data to advertisers about the volume of use on the website.

Cookies allow the website to measure activity on the Site and to improve your user experience, for example by remembering your passwords and viewing preferences, thus allowing you to visit various member-only parts of the Site without re-registering. Cookies are used by the website to measure activity on the Site and to make improvements and updates based on which areas are popular and which are not. The website does not use cookies to retrieve information from your computer that was not originally sent in a cookie. Except for personal information voluntarily provided by you (i.e., during membership registration), the website does not use information transferred through cookies for any promotional or marketing purposes, nor is that information shared with any third parties whatsoever.
