<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Rules and Conditions</span></b><br />
<br />
1. The 14th Romeo Forbes Children's Story Writing Competition is open to all Filipinos.<br />
<br />
<br />
2. Entries must not have been previously published, and all entrants must warrant the originality of their submitted entries.<br />
<br />
<br />
3. <span style="color: #fff2cc;">Writers may submit only one entry, in English or Filipino, which shall be of <b>1,000 words or less</b></span>. This word limit is a strict and absolute limit. Even just one word above the limit will be enough to disqualify an entry.<br />
<br />
<br />
4. There is no particular theme, other than the use of this year's contest piece, a new work (shown above) by artist Arvi Fetalvero, as the inspiration or basis for the entry.<br />
<br />
<br />
5. JUDGING PROCESS<br />
<br />
A CANVAS review panel shall read and award points for all stories received based on the following criteria:<br />
<br />
* Originality and Storyline (35%)<br />
* Imagery (35%)<br />
* Quality of Writing (30%)<br />
<br />
Based on the points received, CANVAS shall forward a shortlist of three to five stories with the highest scores to the Artist. The Artist shall then provide comments on any or all the stories, for final consideration by the panel of judges.<br />
<br />
The panel of judges - taking the contest criteria and Artist comments into non-binding consideration - shall collectively choose the winner from the shortlist of stories.<br />
<br />
If the judges cannot come to a consensus on the winner, they shall take a vote and the entry that gains the most number of votes shall be declared the winner.<br />
<br />
None of CANVAS' review panel, the judges or the Artist shall see any entrant's name until the winner is chosen.<br />
<br />
<br />
6. <b><span style="color: #fff2cc;">Kindly follow these instructions carefully when submitting your entry</span></b>:<br />
<br />
(a) Submit your entry as a Microsoft Word attachment to storycontest@canvas.ph with the subject heading 14th ROMEO FORBES CHILDREN'S STORY WRITING COMPETITION.<br />

<br />
(d) Put your name, mailing and email address, and telephone/cellphone number in the body of your email when you submit your entry.<br />
<br />
<br />
7. <b><span style="color: #fff2cc;">The deadline for submission of entries is 8:00 p.m. (Manila time), Wednesday, 16 December 2015</span></b>.<br />
<br />
CANVAS acknowledges each and every entry that we receive. If you submitted a story, and do not receive an acknowledgement from us within 24 hours, please assume that your story was not received and kindly resend it to us.<br />
<br />
Nevertheless, entries received after the deadline, even if sent earlier, may no longer be considered for the Competition. CANVAS shall not be responsible for entries which are not received, or which are received after the deadline, due to technical failure or for any other reason whatsoever.<br />
<br />
<br />
8. All entrants hereby agree to authorize CANVAS to post such entries on its website, as CANVAS deems fit, and free from any payments, royalties or fees whatsoever.<br />
<br />
<br />
9. <span style="color: #fff2cc;">There shall be only one winner, who shall receive a cash prize of PhP 45,000.00</span> (less applicable withholding tax) for his/her entry. The winner shall be responsible for all applicable taxes.<br />
<br />
The winning writer shall also be entitled to five (5) free copies upon publication of the book.<br />
<br />
The winner shall grant and transfer to CANVAS all intellectual property and publication rights to the story, including anytranslations, adaptations or modifications thereto.<br />
<br />
It is hereby understood that the cash prize to be awarded to the winner shall include consideration of such intellectual property and publication rights to the story, and the writer shall not be entitled to any other royalties or fees from earnings, if any, that may result from future publication of, licensing of, or other transactions on the same. (Please see our note below on why we have this rule.)<br />
<br />
<br />
10. Except for the right to publish any received entry on its website, CANVAS shall not retain any other rights to entries that are not selected as the winner, except where separate agreements are reached with the writers.<br />
<br />
<br />
11. CANVAS shall exercise full and exclusive editorial and artistic control over the publication of the winning entry and resulting book.<br />
<br />
While, it is the full intention of CANVAS to publish the winning entry as a full-color children's book, CANVAS reserves the right not to publish the same for any reason whatsoever.<br />
<br />
<br />
12. The winner of the CANVAS storywriting competition will be announced on or around the first half of March 2016. The winner will also be notified via email/text on the same announcement date.<br />
<br />
<br />
13. CANVAS reserves the right not to award the competition prize in the event that the judges decide that no entry was received that is deserving of the top prize. In such unlikely event,however, CANVAS shall have no right whatsoever over all entries that were received; and shall not publish any entry, in its website or in any other venue, without the prior written consent or agreement of the author.<br />
<br />
<br />
14. The decision of the competition judges shall be final, and no correspondence or inquiries into the same - including requests for comments/feedback on received entries - shall be entertained.<br />
<br />
<br />
15. Employees of CANVAS, and members of their immediate family, as well as the Artist's immediate family, are disqualified from participating in the competition.<br />
<br />
<br />
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *<br />
<br />
<b>Why We Ask for the Transfer of Rights</b><br />
<br />
The competition rules (Rule 9) clearly state that the winning author should agree to transfer all rights to CANVAS and"...shall not be entitled to any other royalties or fees from earnings, if any, that may result from future publication of, derivative works, licensing of, or other transactions on the same."<br />
<br />
This note is just to clarify where it is that CANVAS is coming from.<br />
<br />
First of all, having complete ownership of the story rights makes it easier and less complicated for us to quickly and liberally share and give our consent to anyone who may ask for permission touse the winning story (something that we have always granted in the past).<br />
<br />
It is for this very reason that the stories and illustrations of books we publish are all available for free viewing and enjoyment on our website (http://www.canvas.ph), despite the concern of some that the easy availability of the stories on the Internet could eat into the sales of our books (which, happily, has not proven to be the case).<br />
<br />
Beyond this, our stories are also available and downloadable on our website FOR FREE, in both English and Filipino. Just as we were fortunate enough to have been given permission to adapt "The Man Who Planted Trees," into our maiden publication - "Elias and HisTrees," - we hope that the stories that we work on will inspire similar creativity.<br />
<br />
A second reason why we ask for the transfer of rights is that CANVAS is a small nonprofit, and is not equipped to document and track royalty shares that ideally should accrue to authors and artists. It is for this reason that our prize (we think), is quite substantial and approximates (if not exceeds) what writers would normally expect to receive in royalties.<br />
<br />
Finally, aside from the possibility for getting some of our books published abroad, we also sometimes talk with corporations about sponsoring the publication of books that can be given away to children in public schools and disadvantaged communities throughout the country. Clear and complete ownership of the rights makes it easier for us to pursue this mission.<br />

Except for the right to publish any received entry on its website, CANVAS shall not retain any other rights to entries that are not selected as the winner, except where separate agreements are reached with the writers.<br /><br /><br /> 11. CANVAS shall exercise full and exclusive editorial and artistic control over the publication of the winning entry and resulting book.<br /><br /><br /> While, it is the full intention of CANVAS to publish the winning entry as a full-color children's book, CANVAS reserves the right not to publish the same for any reason whatsoever.<br /><br /><br /> 12.

The winner will also be notified via email/text on the same announcement date.<br /><br /><br /> 13. CANVAS reserves the right not to award the competition prize in the event that the judges decide that no entry was received that is deserving of the top prize. In such unlikely event,however, CANVAS shall have no right whatsoever over all entries that were received; and shall not publish any entry, in its website or in any other venue, without the prior written consent or agreement of the author.<br /><br /><br /> 14. The decision of the competition judges shall be final, and no correspondence or inquiries into the same - including requests for comments/feedback on received entries - shall be entertained.<br /><br /><br /> 15. Employees of CANVAS, and members of their immediate family, as well as the Artist's immediate family, are disqualified from participating in the competition.<br /><br /><br /> <br /> * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * <br /><br /><br /><b> Why We Ask for the Transfer of Rights</b><br /><br /> The competition rules (Rule 9) clearly state that the winning author should agree to transfer all rights to CANVAS and"...shall not be entitled to any other royalties or fees from earnings, if any, that may result from future publication of, derivative works, licensingof, or other transactions on the same."<br /><br /><br /> This note is just to clarify where it is that CANVAS is coming from.<br /><br /><br /> First of all, having complete ownership of the story rights makes it easier and less complicated for us to quickly and liberally share and give our consent to anyone who may ask for permission touse the winning story (something that we have always granted in the past).<br /><br /><br /> It is for this very reason that the stories and illustrations of books we publish are all available for free viewing and enjoyment on our website (<a href="http://www.canvas.ph/">http://www.canvas.ph</a>), despite the concern of some that the easy availability of the stories on the Internet could eat into the sales of our books (which, happily, has not proven to be the case).<br /><br /><br /> Beyond this, our stories are also available and downloadable on our website FOR FREE, in both English and Filipino. Just as we were fortunate enough to have been given permission to adapt "The Man WhoPlanted Trees," into our maiden publication - "Elias and HisTrees," - we hope that the stories that we work on will inspire similar creativity.<br /><br /><br /> A second reason why we ask for the transfer of rights is that CANVAS is a small nonprofit, and is not equipped to document and track royalty shares that ideally should accrue to authors and artists. It is for this reason that our prize (we think), is quite substantial and approximates (if not exceeds) what writers would normally expect to receive in royalties.<br /><br /><br /> Finally, aside from the possibility for getting some of our books published abroad, we also sometimes talk with corporations about sponsoring the publication of books that can be given away to children in public schools and disadvantaged communities throughout the country. Clear and complete ownership of the rights makes it easier for us to pursue this mission.<br /><br /><br /> (You can read our latest updates on this bookgiving initiative by clicking here: <a href="http://www.globalgiving.org/projects/give-books-to-children-in-the-philippines/updates/">http://www.globalgiving.org/projects/give-books-to-children-in-the-philippines/updates/</a>)<br /><br /><br /><br /> Thank you, and we look forward to reading your stories!!! </span></div>

As the thick clouds of smoke and ash fell upon the forest, I felt something warm encircle my trunk, and looked down to see a child wrapping her arms around me, and saw the same thing happening to the others: men, women, the children, the elderly; they were all walking towards us, their arms outstretched -- and slowly, tentatively, pairs of hands would creep around tree trunks until we found ourselves engaged in some sort of one-sided embrace.</div>

And that was how we found ourselves in the last minutes of life: broken humans, left to give up on their survival, their own machines and inventions suffocating them to extinction, hugging broken trees.</div>

</div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">The
competition rules (Rule 9) clearly state that the winning author should agree
to transfer all rights to CANVAS and "...shall not be entitled to any
other royalties or fees from earnings, if any, that may result from future
publication of, derivative works, licensing of, or other transactions on the
same."<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">

<div class="MsoPlainText">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">This note is just to clarify where it is that CANVAS is coming from.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">First of
all, having complete ownership of the story rights makes it easier and less
complicated for us to quickly and liberally share and give our consent to
anyone who may ask for permission to use the winning story (something that we
have always granted in the past).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">It is for
this very reason that the stories and illustrations of books we publish are all
available for free viewing and enjoyment on our website (<a href="http://www.canvas.ph/">www.canvas.ph</a>),
despite the concern of some that the easy availability of the stories on the
Internet could eat into the sales of our books (which, happily, has not proven
to be the case).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Beyond
this, all our stories are also available and downloadable on our website
FOR FREE, in both English and Filipino. Just as we were fortunate enough to
have been given permission to adapt "The Man Who Planted Trees," into
our maiden publication - "Elias and His Trees," - we hope that the
stories that we work on will inspire similar creativity.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">A second
reason why we ask for the transfer of rights is that CANVAS is a small
nonprofit, and is not equipped to document and track royalty shares that
ideally should accrue to authors and artists. It is for this reason that our
prizes (we think), are quite substantial and approximates (if not exceeds) what
writers would normally expect to receive in royalties.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Third, aside
from the possibility for getting some of our books published abroad, we also
sometimes talk with corporations about sponsoring the publication of books that
can be given away to children in public schools and disadvantaged communities
throughout the country.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">

<div class="MsoPlainText">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt;">Should we
get really lucky and end up on the NY Times Bestseller List or say, get our
book endorsed by Oprah, be assured that we will make things right with the
artist and writer (you'll just have to trust us on this!). But until
then, having demonstrably complete ownership over the rights makes it easier
and less complicated for us to approach and negotiate with corporations eager
to support children's literacy in the Philippines, or would-be publishers
abroad.</span></div>

are also trying to be financially sustainable. We rely on self-generated
revenues, some corporate support, and a small amount of grant funding to run
CANVAS and conduct our activities, including co-sharing the publication costs
of the books. We can only hope to recoup the expenses so that we can pursue our
visions and dreams for children's literacy and Philippine art consistently and
relentlessly in the years to come.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Please be
assured of our continuing effort to balance our desire to contribute to the
public domain in a manner that is also fair to the writers and artists, on the
one hand; and our need to also be fiscally responsible with the grants and
funds that have been entrusted to us, and to the publishers and corporations
that we partner with, on the other.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Based on what we've heard (and even seen) of what the other galleries have in store, the whole event promises to be equal if not better than the original.</span></td></tr>

<tr><td class="tr-caption"><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">Meanwhile, we didn't forget the children displaced by the conflict that shook Zamboanga City in Mindanao, several weeks before Typhoon Haiyan hit. More than two thousand CANVAS books, with "Nadia and the Blue Stars" also being given a local dialect translation (chabacano), were printed and went direct from the press to the pier and immediately sailed for Mindanao.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;"><br />
A local NGO called Project Banig then used the books to conduct basic psychosocial intervention for displaced children affected by the armed conflict. The promise and potential of the books as useful tools to help children deal with trauma and displacement are best captured by a couple of reactions from two of the children helped by Project Banig. </span><br />

One girl said, “<i>Kailangan natin maging tulad ni
Nadia kasi siya ang nagsysymbolize ng pag-asa.
Hindi tayo pwede mawalan ng pag-asa.” </i>(We need to be like Nadia who
symbolizes hop. We cannot lose hope.)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

talaga nananalo sa gera. Lahat talo.
Muslim. Kristyano. Lahat biktima.”</i> (No one wins in war. Everyone loses. Muslims. Christians. Everyone’s a victim).</span></div>

In line with our bookgiving initiatives, we now want to raise funds to publish books that can be given away to child victims of Typhoon Yolanda and who will find themselves in evacuation centers and temporary shelters this holiday season.<br />
<br />
So here's what we propose.<br />
<br />
If you wish to donate to us and this project, you can do so by depositing your contribution (any amount will be greatly appreciated!) to:<br />

That means we're trying to raise at least P200,000.00 - half from you and half from us. That will then enable us to publish AT LEAST 4000 copies of our children's books - all of which will go to children displaced by Yolanda.<br />
<br />
Finally, while any and all amounts are greatly appreciated, as an added bonus to encourage greater generosity, we will raffle off our framed and signed Artist Proof limited edition prints of Elmer Borlongan's "Isang Mata" and "Profile" among the first 20 people who will donate at least P5,000.00 to this cause.<br />

So by donating at least P5,000.00, you could have a one in ten chance of owning one "original" Elmer Borlongan artwork.<br />

In <b><i>DREAMTIME</i></b>, Sergio Bumatay III and Rommel Joson - both practicing children's book illustrators - plumb the depths of their dreams, entering places of indeterminate locations and frozen time. Here they explore visual narratives and create characters and images that call to mind the cycle of creation and dissolution and while celebrating the wonder and power of dreams.<br />

CANVAS proudly invites you to join and submit an entry to its 10th Romeo Forbes Children's Story Writing Competition, and possibly see your written text rendered in full color in a children's book.<br />
<br />
This time, rising creative talent Dex Fernandez, does the honors and provides the inspiration with this untitled contest piece:<br />

<br />
1. The Romeo Forbes Children's Storywriting Competition is open to all Filipinos.<br />
<br />
2. Entries must not have been previously published, and all entrants must warrant the originality of their submitted entries. <br />
<br />
3. <b><span style="color: #fff2cc;">Writers may submit only one entry, in English or Filipino, which shall be of 1,000 words or less.</span></b> This word limit is a strict and absolute limit. Even just one word above the limit will be enough to disqualify an entry.<br />
<br />
4. There is no particular theme, other than the use of this year's contest piece, a new work (shown above) by artist Dex Fernandez as the inspiration or basis for the entry. <br />
<br />
5. JUDGING PROCESS<br />
<br />
A CANVAS review panel shall read and award points for all stories received based on the following criteria:<br />
<br />
* Originality and Storyline (35%)<br />
* Imagery (35%)<br />
* Quality of Writing (30%)<br />
<br />
Based on the points received, CANVAS shall forward a shortlist of three to five stories with the highest scores to the Artist. The Artist shall then provide comments on any or all the stories, for consideration by the panel of judges.<br />
<br />
The panel of judges - taking the contest criteria and Artist comments into non-binding consideration - shall collectively choose the winner from the shortlist of stories.<br />
<br />
If the judges cannot come to a consensus on the winner, they shall take a vote and the entry that gains the most number of votes shall be declared the winner.<br />
<br />
None of CANVAS' review panel, the judges or the Artist shall see the entrant's name until the winner is chosen.<br />
<br />
6. Entries must be submitted by email, as a Microsoft Word attachment, to storycontest@canvas.ph with the subject heading 10th ROMEO FORBES CHILDREN'S STORYWRITING COMPETITION. Entrants must include a cover sheet with their name, mailing and email address, and telephone number. Only the story title should appear on all pages of the entry.<br />
<br />
7.<b> <span style="color: #fff2cc;">The deadline for submission of entries is 5:00 p.m. (Manila time), Friday, 02 August 2013. </span></b><br />
<br />
Kindly note that CANVAS acknowledges each and every entry that we receive. If you submitted a story, and do not receive an acknowledgement from us within 24 hours, please assume that your story was not received and kindly resend it to us.<br />
<br />
Nevertheless, entries received after the deadline, even if sent earlier, may no longer be considered for the competition. CANVAS shall not be responsible for entries which are not received, or which are received after the deadline, due to technical failure or for any other reason whatsoever.<br />
<br />
8. All entrants hereby agree to authorize CANVAS to post such entries on its website, as CANVAS deems fit, and free from any payments, royalties or fees whatsoever. <br />
<br />
9. There shall be only one winner, who shall receive <b><span style="color: #fff2cc;">a cash prize of PhP 35,000.00 (less applicable withholding tax)</span></b> for his/her entry. The winner shall be responsible for all applicable taxes.<br />
<br />
The winning writer shall also be entitled to five (5) free copies upon publication of the book. <br />
<br />
The winner shall grant and transfer to CANVAS all intellectual property and publication rights to the story, including any translations, adaptations or modifications thereto. <br />
<br />
It is hereby understood that the cash prize to be awarded to the winner shall include consideration of such intellectual property and publication rights to the story, and the writer shall not be entitled to any other royalties or fees from earnings, if any, that may result from future publication of, licensing of, or other transactions on the same. <b><span style="color: #fff2cc;">(Please see our note below on why we have this rule.)</span></b><br />
<br />
10. Except for the right to publish any received entry on its website, CANVAS shall not retain any other rights to entries that are not selected as the winner, except where separate agreements are reached with the writers.<br />
<br />
11. CANVAS shall exercise full and exclusive editorial and artistic control over the publication of the winning entry and resulting book. <br />
<br />
While, it is the full intention of CANVAS to publish the winning entry as a full-color children's book, CANVAS reserves the right not to publish the same for any reason whatsoever. <br />
<br />
12. The winner of the CANVAS storywriting competition will be announced on or around the first half of October 2013. The winner will also be notified via email/text on the same announcement date.<br />
<br />
13. CANVAS reserves the right not to award the top competition prize in the event that the judges decide that no entry was received that is deserving of the top prize. In such unlikely event, however, CANVAS shall have no right whatsoever over all entries that were received; and shall not publish any entry, in its website or in any other venue, without the prior written consent or agreement of the author.<br />
<br />
14. The decision of the competition judges shall be final, and no correspondence or inquiries into the same - including requests for comments/feedback on received entries - shall be entertained.<br />
<br />
15. Employees of CANVAS, and members of their immediate family, as well as the Artist's immediate family, are disqualified from participating in the competition.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: #fff2cc;">Why We Ask for the Transfer of Rights</span></b></div>
<br />
The competition rules (Rule 9) clearly state that the winning author should agree to transfer all rights to CANVAS and "...shall not be entitled to any other royalties or fees from earnings, if any, that may result from future publication of, derivative works, licensing of, or other transactions on the same."<br />
This rule has understandably raised quite a few eyebrows in the writers' community, and this note is just to clarify where it is that CANVAS is coming from.<br />
<br />
First of all, having complete ownership of the story rights makes it easier and less complicated for us to quickly and liberally share and give our consent to anyone who may ask for permission to use the winning story (something that we have always granted in the past).<br />
<br />
It is for this very reason that the stories and illustrations of books we publish are all available for free viewing and enjoyment on <a href="http://canvas.ph/" target="_blank">our website (www.canvas.ph)</a>, despite the concern of some that the easy availability of the stories on the Internet could eat into the sales of our books (which, happily, has not proven to be the case).<br />
<br />
Beyond this, <a href="http://www.canvas.ph/downloads.htm" target="_blank">all our stories are also available and downloadable on our website FOR FREE</a>, in both English and Filipino. Just as we were fortunate enough to have been given permission to adapt "The Man Who Planted Trees," into our maiden publication - "Elias and His Trees," - we hope that the stories that we work on will inspire similar creativity.<br />
<br />
A second reason why we ask for the transfer of rights is that CANVAS is a small nonprofit, and is not equipped to document and track royalty shares that ideally should accrue to authors and artists. It is for this reason that our prizes (we think), are quite substantial and approximates (if not exceeds) what writers would normally expect to receive in royalties.<br />
<br />
Third, aside from the possibility for getting some of our books published abroad, we also sometimes talk with corporations about sponsoring the publication of books that can be given away to children in public schools and disadvantaged communities throughout the country.<br />
<br />
<b>(You can read <a href="http://www.globalgiving.org/projects/give-books-to-3000-children-in-the-philippines/updates/" target="_blank">our latest updates on this initiative</a> by <a href="http://www.globalgiving.org/projects/give-books-to-3000-children-in-the-philippines/updates/" target="_blank">clicking here</a>.)</b><br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="283" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ySYAWImsKfQ" width="504"></iframe>
<br />
<br />
Indeed, our dream is to give away ONE MILLION BOOKS in the next five to ten years!<br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="283" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/lcTnSi_bbVc" width="504"></iframe>
<br />
<br />
Should we get really lucky and end up on the NY Times Bestseller List or say, get our book endorsed by Oprah, be assured that we will make things right with the artist and writer (you'll just have to trust us on this!). But until then, having demonstrably complete ownership over the rights makes it easier and less complicated for us to approach and negotiate with corporations eager to support children's literacy in the Philippines, or would-be publishers abroad.<br />
<br />
Finally, we are also trying to be financially sustainable. We rely on self-generated revenues, some corporate support, and a small amount of grant funding to run CANVAS and conduct our activities, including co-sharing the publication costs of the books. We can only hope to recoup the expenses so that we can pursue our visions and dreams for children's literacy and Philippine art consistently and relentlessly in the years to come.<br />
<br />
Please be assured of our continuing effort to balance our desire to contribute to the public domain in a manner that is also fair to the writers and artists, on the one hand; and our need to also be fiscally responsible with the grants and funds that have been entrusted to us, and to the publishers and corporations that we partner with, on the other.<br />
<br />
Thank you.</div>

Where to begin?<br />
<br />
How about with new beginnings? After over five years in Serendra, we relocated to and opened our new CANVAS Gallery and Garden in Diliman. It gives us a slightly bigger exhibition space, more flexibility for hosting events, and is a far cozier and much more fun place to think and imagine and dream.<br />

The schedule for next year is much more tight, with more exhibitions and events in our calendar, including scheduled shows by Anton del Castillo, Dave Lock, Juanito Torres, Raymond Legaspi, Ugu Bigyan, Japs Antido, Ninel Constantino, Serj Bumatay, Rommel Joson, among others. We will also have two group exhibitions curated by J Pacena and Jim Orencio, respectively.<br />

In 2013, we'll no longer be constrained by the 100-guest limit, so TEDxDiliman will be bigger, and no less exciting. It's coming again in October 2013, so watch out for the details.<br />
<br />
Then, too, we will start hosting <a href="http://www.ted.com/tedx/events/6108" target="_blank">TEDxDiliman Salons at CANVAS Gallery and Garden</a>, which will be a series of smaller, more intimate gatherings of 30-40 people, sandwiched in between our larger annual TEDxDiliman. The Salons will feature only one speaker at a time complemented by a couple of carefully selected TED Talks around the event's theme, which will be followed by simple cocktails and, hopefully, great and meaningful conversations and interactions.<br />
<br />
<br />
Attendance at the Salons will only be by invitation, but the talks will hopefully be livestreamed. Our invitees then will be very very carefully selected... we're looking particularly to invite young artists, bloggers and social entrepreneurs... in the hope that what results are creative sparks that lead to spectacular inspiration and innovation.<br />
<br />

<br />
Of course, there's our annual Looking for Juan Outdoor Banner Exhibit at the University of the Philippines' tree-lined Academic Oval. This year, we settled on the theme of "Kalayaan", and for the first time, we were joined by a couple of artists from Cambodia.

2013 will be the fifth year of our Outdoor Banner Project (how time flies!), and it's going to be BIG!<br />
<br />
The theme is "Revolution" in tribute to the 150th birth year of Andres Bonifacio. Not without reason, the Katipunan's <i>Supremo</i> seems to be a favorite of many artists, and we expect to have a record number of participants this year.<br />
<br />
We're also planning to come out with a catalog/book of selected artworks from the first five years of the Looking for Juan Outdoor Banner Project... in essence to highlight the empowering and educational potential of Philippine art.<br />

Speaking of which, 2012 marked the 40th anniversary of the declaration of martial law, and this provided us with multiple opportunities --- from a landmark retrospective of martial law era protest art at the Cultural Center of the Philippines, to a mini Martial Law Museum at the University of the Philippines, to a set of small works by younger artists reflecting on the legacy of that infamous period --- to similarly highlight the enduring power of art to effect social change.<br />

2012 also saw the release of our highly anticipated "Rizalpabeto", featuring hand-sketched iPad artworks by Elmer Borlongan, which accompanied Rizal-inspired poetry by Vim Nadera.<br />
<br />
<br />
For 2013, expectations are already very high for <i>Here be Dragons </i>(written by Victor Ocampo with artworks by Jon Jaylo)<i>, </i>our next book from the Romeo Forbes Children's Storywriting Competition.<br />

We expect similar fever-pitch interest in a book of lesser known tales from Aesop's Fables, if only because of the artist involved. :-)<br />

And after that, the process for selecting our next winning author is already underway after a record number of stories were submitted for Daniel de la Cruz's inspiration piece, seen below.<br />

And there are more books to come - we actually have at least six in the pipeline through 2014!<br />
<br />
Those of you who have been with or following us through the years know that CANVAS has always strived to make all our stories fully accessible and affordable, for which reason our books have always been <a href="http://canvas.ph/downloads.htm" target="_blank">downloadable for free on our website</a>.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Still, we realize that nothing compares with the feel of an actual book, especially in the hands of young and beginning readers. So just as we did last year, we've sourced funds - from grants to corporate partnerships to individual donations, both direct or <a href="http://www.globalgiving.org/projects/give-books-to-3000-children-in-the-philippines/" target="_blank">via Global Giving</a> - to donate tens of thousands of books to children in public schools, hospitals and disadvantaged communities throughout the Philippines.</div>

Let us end this rather lengthy review by saying that of all that we've done, this is the activity that we are most proud of. We truly believe that very few things are as life-changing as helping a child become a lifelong reader, not only by helping him or her to learn to read, but more importantly, by using great art and stories to teach him or her to love books.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
All these successes are not only CANVAS'... they are yours as well, and we are sincerely grateful for all the support and encouragement you have given us in the past seven years. We look forward to continuing our journey with you in the years to come.<br />
<br />
Thank you and Happy Holidays to all!</div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">A winner at the 2012 National Children's Book Awards, <i>Doll Eyes</i> is a thrilling read, a thrilling ride, through the labyrinth that is Quiapo. The illustrations capture the mystique as well as the mess of the place, join together the marvelous with the everyday, and paint eerie portraits of a terrible dollmaker and her terrified and helpless dolls. This gripping horror story confirms our worst fears, withers our hopes, then restores us to the strength of friendship, reassuring us that help is just a prayer away." </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Why We Ask for the
Transfer of Rights<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The competition rules (Rule 9) clearly state that the
winning author should agree to transfer all rights to CANVAS and "...shall
not be entitled to any other royalties or fees from earnings, if any, that may
result from future publication of, derivative works, licensing of, or other
transactions on the same."<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In case you were wondering, there are a number of reasons
for our imposing this rule:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
First of all, having complete ownership of the story rights
makes it easier and less complicated for us to quickly and liberally share and
give our consent to anyone who may ask for permission to use the winning story
(something that we have always granted in the past).<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It is for this very reason that the stories and
illustrations of books we publish are all available for public viewing and
enjoyment, and for free downloading as e-books on our website (<a href="http://www.canvas.ph/">www.canvas.ph</a>), despite the concern of some
that the easy availability of the stories on the Internet could eat into the
sales of our books (which, happily, has not proven to be the case).<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We have now taken it one step further. CANVAS now donates
thousands of our books to public schools, children’s hospitals and
disadvantaged communities throughout the Philippines by raising funds either
through grants or corporate sponsorships, and having complete ownership of the
titles will make it easier for us to reach our dream of eventually handing out
our millionth book. You can read more about this initiative here: <a href="http://www.globalgiving.org/projects/give-books-to-3000-children-in-the-philippines/updates/">http://www.globalgiving.org/projects/give-books-to-3000-children-in-the-philippines/updates/</a>
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A second reason why we ask for the transfer of rights is
that CANVAS is a small nonprofit, and is not equipped to document and track
royalty shares that ideally should accrue to authors and artists. In fact, we
only rely on and trust our partner publisher(s) to remit to us our own royalty
shares. It is for this reason that our prizes (we think), are quite substantial
and approximates (if not exceeds) what writers would normally expect to receive
in royalties.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Third, we are also trying to get the stories published
abroad. Should we get really lucky and end up on the NY Times Bestseller List, or somehow get endorsed by Oprah or Ellen, be assured that we will make things
right with the winning writer (you'll just have to trust us on this). But until then, having demonstrably complete
ownership over the rights, again, makes it easier and less complicated for us
to approach and negotiate with would-be publishers (who hopefully would not be
spooked by our giving out downloadable e-books for free in the first place).<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Finally, we are also trying to be financially sustainable.
We rely on a small amount of grant funding to conduct our activities, including
co-sharing the publication costs of the books. We can only hope to recoup the
expenses so that we can do these activities on a continuing and recurring basis
in the years to come.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Please be assured of our continuing effort to balance our
desire to contribute to the public domain in a manner that is also fair to the
writers and artists, on the one hand; and our need to also be fiscally
responsible with the grants that have been entrusted to us, and to the
publishers and corporations that we partner with, on the other.<o:p></o:p></div>
