To do these things, we need permission from you. So, when you submit your work to the writing contest, you give The Rotten Apple permission to use your work in a wide variety of ways without further permission or approval from you.

This last point is related to giving permission to The Rotten Apple to use your essays for analysis and interpretation that could eventually result in publication of a study or studies.
