3.2.2 For Teachers

  • Registration Prohibition: Teachers cannot directly register for the competition. However, teachers with a BOOKR Class school account can log in and register their students using a unique student code provided within the platform.

Participation Details Based on User Status

  • Parent—Already a User: As an existing user, select the child with whom you wish to enter the competition through your account.
  • Parent—New User: As a new registrant, create your parent account and then add your child(ren) to your account to enter them into the competition. Note: You cannot see competition results or enter the competition from your account; entry is only through your child’s account.
  • Teacher—Already a User: As an existing user with a school account, you can enter your students into the competition using the student code. Note: Teachers cannot directly enter competitions, but they can facilitate student participation.
  • Teacher—New User: Teachers without a previous BOOKR Class account cannot enter students into the competition. Teachers are encouraged to support student participation through other means.

3.2.3. For SSO Users

If a partner using Single Sign-On (SSO) technology indicates a desire to participate, the administrators manually subscribe them to the competition. This ensures seamless integration and participation for users accessing through a partner platform.

3.2.4. Distributor Partners

If distributor partners wish to register someone for the competition, they should contact the Customer Service team. The registration process for these entries will be handled manually, with a turnaround time of 3-5 working days. This ensures all entries are processed accurately and integrated into the competition system.

4. Competition Format

  • Measurement of Time: The competition ranks participants based on the total time spent reading during the 2-week period, as tracked by the BOOKR Class app.
  • Leaderboard Details: The leaderboard displays each participant’s first name, last initial, and country flag to highlight global participation. It is updated in real-time and visible to all website visitors, but detailed rankings are available only to logged-in users.

5. Prizes and Awards

  • Certificates: The first 50 readers, based on the time logged, will receive a certificate recognizing their achievement.
  • Top Prizes:
    • 1st Place: Segway Ninebot eKickScooter. A high-performance electric scooter, viewable here.
    • 2nd Place: Bookstore Lego set – a creative and educational Lego kit, details here.

  • Public Information: Only the child’s first name, last initial, and country will be displayed publicly on the leaderboard to maintain privacy while fostering a competitive environment.

8. Communication with Participants

  • Updates and Notifications: Regular updates about competition standings and news will be provided through the competition’s newsfeed on the website and via emails to registered parents.
