LAPTA has wonderful and fun contests for Local PTA Units. The Safety Poster Contest emphasizes fire safety. The Love Louisiana Video Challenge is a fun way to celebrate Louisiana. The Reflections Theme Search for 2024-25 needs students to submit original theme ideas. The Reflections Program has all details at LouisianaPTA.org/reflections.

Love Louisiana Video Challenge Contest

The Love Louisiana Video Challenge celebrates all things wonderful about Louisiana and our children’s education. LAPTA wants video submissions from students expressing what makes Louisiana special. This should be really fun to see what the students create! Winning videos will be shown at the LAPTA Centennial Celebration on March 25, 2023, in Baton Rouge. Download support documents & sample flyer at PDF or Word.

Safety Poster Contest

As Louisiana PTA observes its Centennial Celebration, the Fire Prevention Week Program and Sparky the Fire Dog are also 100 years old! Fire Prevention Week is October 9-16, 2022. See nfpa.org/FPW for fire safety messages, activities, materials, games, lesson plans, safety tip sheet, and more.

Both the Fire Prevention Week Program and Louisiana PTA are celebrating their Centennial Years! Want to help your child learn more about fire safety? Kids learn best in a hands-on, interactive way. At sparky.org/activities, kids can find games, activities, and more to help them learn essential fire safety while playing games they will love.

Congratulations to our Safety Poster winners and a big thank you to Louisiana State Fire Marshal Chief Dan Wallis for serving as our Special Guest Judge! All our winners did a great job in interpreting the theme of "Fire Safety". The entries were so good that there was a tie in the Intermediate category and we added an additional award!

Reflections Theme Contest

The search is on for a future Reflections theme! Help us pick the theme that will spark fun and creativity for a future National PTA Reflections program! The student who submits the final winning entry for National PTA will receive a $100 prize. We’re looking for the most original theme ideas. This means past themes and duplicate submissions will not be considered. The past list of themes can be found at the bottom of the submission form page.
