the Talent Fest 2020 coordinator through the Parish level Talent Fest coordinator or designee of

their Parish. Only grievances regarding violations of policies as given in Talent Fest 2020

guidelines and clarifications given as applicable will be accepted by the grievance committee.

Judges' scoring decisions are final and will not be discussed after the judgment results have been

officially announced. A competition result may be overturned by the grievance committee based

on policy violation complaints.

1) The Grievance Resolution Committee will consist of the

following members:

The Vicar of the host Parish, one Trustee from the host Parish,

Talent Fest 2020 Coordinator, Talent Fest coordinators(or

representative) of all participating parishes.

2) Complaint should be made in writing at the Talent Fest 2020

office within one hour after announcing results of an event.

3) After careful consideration of the complaint, if the committee

decides that the complaint does not merit a consideration, then the

Coordinator will notify the complainant.

4) If a contestant or a parish representative makes a complaint against another

contestant, then the committee will carefully consider the complaint. If the

committee decides that the complaint merits consideration, then the committee

will invite the aggrieved party to be present during the deliberations. The

complainant will also be required to attend the deliberations. If a unanimous

decision cannot be reached, then the committee will make a final decision based

on a majority vote. Each Parish representative will have one vote for a total of

votes equal to the number of parishes/missions. In case of a tie, Vicar of the host

Parish will cast the tie breaking vote. The final decision is binding and cannot be

challenged.

for I am meek and humble of heart; and

you will find rest for yourselves. For my

yoke is easy, and my burden light.

42 Wisdom 1 Corinthians 1:25

For the foolishness of God is wiser than

46 Wisdom Proverbs 1:7

Fear of the LORD is the beginning of

knowledge; fools despise wisdom and

discipline.

കദവഭക്തിയാണ് അറിവിമെ ഉറവിടും; പ്ഭാഷ്ന്ൊര്ത് ജ്ഞാനമതയുും പ്രപ്ബാധനമതയുും പുച്ഛിക്കുന്നു. ദുഷ്ടസപര്ത്ക്കും മവടിയുക .

with the humble is wisdom .

അഹങ്കാെതിമെ ിന്നാമല അ ൊനമുണ്്ട; വിനയമുള്ളവപ്ൊടു കൂമട ജ്ഞാനവുും.


How much better to get wisdom than

gold! To get understanding is preferable

to silver.

ജ്ഞാനും ലഭിക്കുന്നതു സവര്ത്ണും കിട്ടന്നതിമനക്കാൾ പ്ശ്രഷ്ഠൊണ്; വിജ്ഞാനും മവള്ളിമയക്കാൾ അഭികാെയവുും .


For the LORD gives wisdom ,from his

mouth come knowledge and

understanding

എമന്തന്നാല്, കര്ത്താവ് ജ്ഞാനും നല്കുന്നു; അവിടുമത വദനതില് നിന്്ന അറിവുും വിപ്വകവുും പുറമപടുന്നു.
