Colorado PTA Membership Challenge 2018 – 2019
Advocacy, Leadership, Membership – the Heart of PTA
Colorado PTA’s Video Contest
Get those creative juices flowing and enter Colorado PTA’s YouTube Heart of PTA Membership video contest!
Create a video, no longer than 45 seconds, promoting the value of PTA. We all love our PTAs! Think about what led you to join PTA and the importance of PTA to you. We want to highlight why PTA membership is so important and why someone (individual, family, student, teacher, or community member) would join. Submit the video to the Colorado PTA office, office@copta.org no later than March 31st.
Videos will be shown at the annual Colorado PTA Convention (April 27-28). Delegates will have the opportunity to pick a winner. The winning video will be shared with units across the state as part of our 2019/20 Membership Drive!
Winners will be able to choose one of the following fabulous prizes:
- Colorado PTA will provide five (5) volunteers at an event of your choice during the 2019-2020 school year!
- A personalized PTA or PTSA tablecloth for your local unit
- A $50 certificate to ShopPTA.com
AND will earn state-wide fame and bragging rights!!
Colorado PTA reserves the right to use submitted videos for marketing purposes. Please list your PTA/PTSA name in the ending credits.
