Effective Date: June 1, 2026. Submission Window: January 1, 2027 through April 1, 2027. Winner Announcement Window: May-June 2027.
2. Purpose
Little Human Helper is a youth counterpart to HelpHuman that encourages practical, encouraging, age-appropriate ideas that can help people, families, schools, and communities.
3. Challenge type
The challenge is fully skill-based and judge-only. No public voting or popularity-based outcome determines the result.
4. Eligibility
Entrants must fit the age range for the division they enter and comply with all published requirements. Participation by minors requires the parent or legal guardian approvals described in these rules.
5. Divisions
Junior Division: ages 8-12. Teen Division: ages 13-17.
6. How to enter
Submit through the official Little Human Helper entry process during the submission window. The entry must be complete and submitted with the required adult consent and contact details.
7. Parent or guardian approval
Parent or legal guardian approval and contact information are required. The parent or guardian is the official point of contact for the program, may be asked to verify identity and authority where needed, and UVP will not engage in unsupervised direct communication with minors.
8. Safety and privacy
UVP will collect only the information reasonably necessary to administer the program. For children under 13, consent-based handling is required, no more information is collected than reasonably necessary, and parent or guardian review or deletion requests will be handled where appropriate.
What fits and what does not
Youth ideas should be helpful, age-appropriate, and safe.
The program is meant to encourage creativity while protecting children and families.
What types of ideas fit
- • Practical ideas that help people solve everyday problems
- • Ideas that help families, schools, or community groups
- • Creative learning tools, helper apps, or useful digital concepts
- • Safe, age-appropriate ideas with clear benefit
What is not accepted
- • Harmful, exploitative, or unsafe concepts
- • Adult, sexual, or violent products
- • Surveillance or manipulative behavioral systems
- • Anything that would require legal, medical, or financial handling UVP is not ready to manage
9. Judging criteria
Judging may consider usefulness, age-appropriateness, clarity, creativity, feasibility, safety, and likely real-world impact.
10. Judging process
UVP and authorized judges review eligible submissions. Judges' decisions are final and binding, subject to applicable law.
11. Winner notification and response deadline
If selected, UVP will attempt to notify the parent or guardian using the information provided. If the selected entrant does not respond within the stated deadline or cannot verify eligibility, the prize may be forfeited and an alternate may be selected.
12. Publicity
No child-identifying information will be posted publicly without parent or guardian authorization. Any publicity must follow the permissions stated in these rules and the entry materials.

The prize structure varies by division and place. UVP may substitute a prize of equal or greater value when necessary.

19. Governing law
These rules are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, subject to applicable law.
