You will receive an email with the Code of Conduct from a website called “PandaDoc” as soon as you submit your Finalist Registration Survey.

Deadline: 31 May

In the Finalist Registration Survey, you will be asked for the contact details of your parent/legal guardian. We will use this information to send them the Parent/Guardian Registration Survey and, once they submit the survey, the Parent/Guardian Consent Form. They must complete these materials by 31 May in order for you to participate, so check with them to ensure they received the emails and submit everything!

We ask your parent or legal guardian for detailed information about their employment, income, and education. If you’re selected as a Rise Global Winner, Rise reserves the right to verify this information. ​If you are not selected as a Rise Global Winner, Rise will delete this information from our records.

If you or your parent/legal guardian have any questions, first check the Frequently Asked Questions section. If you still have questions or did not receive the emails with the Parent/Guardian Survey and the Consent Form, contact finalists@risefortheworld.org.

If your parent/legal guardian can read and sign documents in English, Spanish, or Arabic, they will receive an email immediately after you submit your Finalist Registration Survey. If they don’t speak these languages, the Rise Team will send them all of the materials in translation in a few days’ time.

Deadline: 31 May
