Mandatory Participation Form
National PTA requires each state to track the number of PTAs that participated and the total number of works entered in the state’s program.
Therefore, all units are required to submit a participation form to the next level of judging along with their winning artwork. There are forms for local, council, and district/region PTAs. (Contact your state PTA office or go to PTAreflections.org to access the forms.)
Label each Participation Form in the bottom right corner with the following label in lower case letters exactly in this order:
state abbreviation.participation.level. full PTA name
Example: md.participation.local.perryville elementary school PTA
Example: wa.participation.local.point defiance elementary school PTA

IMPORTANT F.Y.I.
Hi Folks,
I just wanted to remind you that the National ID # sent to you may not be 8 digits long and if not, you would put the amount of zero's in front of the number to make it 8 digits long. For example, your id # was 234567 you would add 2 zeros in front so that it reads 00234567.
Also, National is loosening its requirement on the flv. formatting. Entries will be accepted that are formatted according to previous years requirements.
Thanks for all you do for kids and in support of the arts!!!!!

**Video file formats accpeted last year: .mpeg, .mov, and .wmv. Must be a computer file and not a DVD format (Should not play automatically when opened in computer).

Message from DeeDee Loberg, WSPTA Program Director September 9, 2011
I do not have a document at this time that lists the changes. Here are the key changes to read up on in the Reflections Handbook available in the Leadership Resources part of our web-site. You can access this by clicking on the Leadership Packet and scrolling down to Reflections Handbook.
Key changes:
1. Mandatory Title
2. Mandatory Artist Statement
3. Mandatory Consent forms for everyone that may be in pictures or voice recordings etc.
4. Mandatory Participation Form sent to National from Local Units
5. New formatting of Dance/Choreography, Film/Video
6. New Labeling requirements
7. New Packaging requirements
This information can be located in the handbook starting I believe, on page 26. We will work on getting those black spots off the forms ASAP for downloading and distributing. Until then the white-out that Karen suggested is needed.
Below is some additional information on accessing the Leadership Resources.

DID YOU NOTICE THAT YOUR LEADERSHIP PACKET DID NOT INCLUDE A REFLECTIONS GUIDE? HERE'S WHY
As reported previously, there are some significant changes in the Reflections program requirements as recently promulgated by National PTA. As a result we were not able to compile the Reflections Guide that has typically been included with the Leadership Packet each unit receives from Washington State PTA each year. However, do not despair-we will be mailing a guide to each local unit shortly before or after Labor Day, along with the information about the upcoming Legislative Assembly. Both will be sent in the same envelope addressed to the President of each local unit and Council, which is yet one more reason to make sure that we have your correct information in our database. If there is more than one person listed as President (i.e. you have co-Presidents) we will send your copy to the person listed first alphabetically by last name.

Message from Wendy Tumbleson, WSPTA Reflections Chair October 25, 2010
It has been brought to my attention that the guidelines for musical composition form says: Review or download complete rules and tips for quality recordings at www.wastatepta.org/Programs/Reflections. Yet this link does not provide information. The site will be corrected and we will add following information to the FAQ section of the website.
Recommendations for Quality Recordings:
-Make the room you record in as quiet as possible. Close windows and turn off all noise-making devices in the room (air conditioners, fans, telephones, etc.). ----Do not place the recording devise on top of an instrument or speakers.
-Do not record at too loud a level (in the red zone on the meter) or too soft a level (meter barely moving).
-Record a short test and listen to it while watching the meter. If needed, improve recording quality by changing the record volume or microphone location.
-Return to the beginning of the CD and record two seconds of silence; then start performing your composition. Finish with another two seconds of silence. Wendy Tumbleson WSPTA Reflections Chair
