Which platforms can I use?
Supported: YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, X, Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive or other drive link. The link must open for our reviewers without signing in.

No. Nothing about your child is published automatically. GreatEDU uses a child's name, video link or talent in its promotional material only if you tick the separate, optional promotional consent. Saying no does not affect the entry.

Can my business or school sponsor the contest?

Privacy and parental consent

How we use it
- To run the contest: to check entries, contact you, judge, announce winners, pay prizes and issue certificates.
- Reviewers open your video link on the original platform. GreatEDU does not copy or republish the video.
- Your child's name, video or photo are not published on our website. We only use them in our promotional material if you gave the separate, optional promotional consent.
Who can see it
- Only authorised GreatEDU administrators and designated reviewers. Your contact details are never shown publicly.
How long we keep it
- We keep entries and sponsor enquiries for 30 days after the winners are announced, and then delete them. You can ask us to delete yours earlier.
Your choices
- Write to the contest contact address to ask for a copy of your data, a correction, withdrawal of the promotional consent, or deletion of the entry.

Encourage small talents. Celebrate small wins.
Every big talent starts small: a song hummed in the kitchen, a first drawing, a poem learnt by heart. A small win and a big cheer can change how a child sees themselves.
GreatEDU invites individuals, businesses, schools and communities to join hands and encourage small talents. Your support can fund a prize, a gift hamper, certificates or simply a loud cheer for children who are just beginning.
Small talents. Small wins. Big encouragement.
