This document provides step by step instructions on how to successfully run your program at the local and county levels. 

It's important that everyone is aware of deadlines during the process, especially since there will be several rounds of judging (from Local to County, from County to State, from State to National). 

This is a very important resource to understand what is and what is not accepted. Scroll down to your category to learn more about it and see some tips!

This is the same information on the "How to Craft an Entry" page but in printable form.

• You may fill in the PDF electronically or print it out and fill it in by hand. If your local PTA is using a digital form, use that form.

• Submit the entry form with your artwork to your Local PTA Reflections Chair.

• All required fields must be completed for the category and division entered.

National PTA has provided a template Student Entry Form in Google Forms in both English and Spanish. PTAs may create a copy of the form and customize it for use based on the requirements and guidelines outlined by NJ PTA. 

If your PTA uses Google Drive and would like a version with the option for students/parents to upload their entries, please reach out to Shazia Ansari at reflections@njpta.org to request a copy.

This is the form all county chairs must complete when they submit entries to the state. This form will be due on January 15, 2027.

If you already have data from your local PTAs from their digital entry forms, there will be alternative instructions. More info will be provided to you about this method later in the Fall.

If you are a local PTA and would like to collect files via Google Drive, you may request a copy of this file to use for your local PTA. Please email reflections@njpta.org for the file and instructions.
