This year, members of the Spokane, Walla Walla and Moses Lake chapters registered online for their 2012 Adjudications. They are the first chapters to use WSMTA's online registration system. In future years, other WSMTA chapters will use the same system.
Online registration saves time for teachers and for those who oversee the adjudications. The online registration form does all the math for each teacher's state and chapter registration fees, and saves each teacher's information to a database, to expedite preparation of the adjudications schedule.
Last fall, WSMTA members registered online for the Outstanding Artist Competition, and to pay the state participation fee for the MTNA competition.
To use WSMTA's online registration system, each participating WSMTA member must create a login, using their MTNA membership number.
