ESSARP Creative Writing Competition
Guidelines for Schools:

HARDWARE & SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS:

Students participating from School:

a) One (1) PC per participating student (we suggest the school should
have 1 or 2 extra computers available in case of a
hardware/software failure).

b) Headphones: each participant must have a headphone connected to

the computer before the competition starts.

c) Internet connection.

d) Access to online and/or paper dictionaries / thesaurus / translators.

PROCEDURE
a) After enrolling the school and candidates for this competition, each
school will receive 2 or 3 days before the event takes place a
username and password for each participant. The school will be
responsible for delivering that information to each candidate. These
username and password will be used only the day of the
competition.

b) Two (2) weeks before the competition participants will be able to

access the site with a general username and password (also
provided by this organization). This will allow them to get used to
the site, read the user guidelines and try the “Demo” section.

c) The presence of technical support is recommended. The external

supervisor will not be responsible for solving any hardware/software
malfunction.

d) In case of a power cut, the school representative at ESSARP will

have to communicate with Ms. Claudia Cortés at
ccortes@stbrendans.edu.ar to allow an “extension” of the online
site’s deadline for that day. In case the power is not restored 2
hours after it was cut, that school will be given another opportunity
the following week.

e) In the likelihood of a general malfunction of the online system, the
person in charge of the competition of each school participating will
receive an online communication with the topics of this year's
competition. We encourage each center to keep it under a most
strict security to avoid any problems.
