- Only upload/submit what is being asked for.
- Make sure all files/tabs are properly labeled.
- Have EVERYTHING ready before you start the submission process.
- Make note of when screenshots or narratives are being asked for.
- Make sure items submitted are active. Example: a picture of a sign on a fence or on a bulletin board is better than a PDF of the sign.
- Awards criteria are based on PTA best practices and align with what your PTA should be doing.
Instructions for submitting examples:
- Examples uploaded must have dates whenever possible.
