Step-by-step Guide to Submitting
You have promoted Reflections and shared your due date with your school community. Some of you may even be receiving artwork! So now what? Please follow these steps and contact Jasmine Lee Fry at reflections@northshorecouncilptsa.org if you have questions.
Make sure the signature lines on all entry forms are filled in. Names can be signed or typed.
Take any necessary digital photos of visual arts pieces or work with families to get photos. Please check the rules to ensure the pieces are compliant.
Submit up to 20 pieces (+ up to 6 special artist pieces) to Council.
Each PTA has its own Dropbox folder. A link will be emailed to Reflections chairs and PTA presidents. Once you have access to the folder, please upload a test file so we have time to troubleshoot any issues you may encounter.
Inside your folder you will see:
Directions -- Please read this document before submitting.
Spreadsheet -- You will fill in some information needed to coordinate judging and to advance pieces to WSPTA. All of the information you need should be on the entry forms.
Upload/copy/drag student art piece and entry form to the Dropbox folder. You should be submitting two files per student entry. The exception will be Music Composition entries that require notation; those entries will have three files (This is only for middle and high school divisions).
Please rename the files to match this format: Student First Name and Last Name - Arts Category - Form/Artwork.This will help us make sure the hundreds of pieces of art we receive can be matched to an entry form.
Example 1: Jasmine Fry Literature Form
Example 2: Jasmine Fry Literature Artwork
When you have added all of the artwork and entry forms to your Dropbox, please email reflections@northshorecouncilptsa.org and let us know you are done and how many pieces you are submitting, so we can verify that we have matching numbers.
After 9 p.m. on Dec. 3, access will be restricted to the Reflections Dropbox folders.
Feel free to submit your artwork early!
Student Entry Forms
Here's a guide to help you fill out the top portion. This is for you to fill out, not the students and parents.
Local PTA - This is the name of your PTA
Local PTA ID - This is your National PTA ID number. You can find your number here, or email me.
Council PTA - Northshore
District PTA - N/A you can leave this blank
Region PTA - 6
State PTA - 6.10.XX (xx is your number - ask your president or send me email)
Member Dues/Insurance Paid Date and Bylaws Approval Date – A safe bet is just October 2020 for all three of these. The goal of these questions is to ensure your PTA is in good standing.
