It is also a time of reflection for chapters to evaluate their current procedures and set goals for the new year. To help streamline the entry process, APA has created a new **PowerPoint template** that chapters can use to easily create their contest submission. This resource comes with the full questionnaire already formatted and a space for each answer so chapters can focus on filling in their information, adding photos, and customizing as needed.  Visit the[**Chapter Leaders Blog**](https://blogs.americanpayroll.org/chapter-leaders/apa-provides-new-coty-contest-entry-template)for instructions on how to download and use the template. Chapter of the Year entries are due **February 12, 2021**. **![Blog Spotlight Icon]([images|OpenAccessDataProvider]d0ac64f5-bc24-4c2a-b3b8-f15d48032e44 "Blog Spotlight Icon")Chapter Leaders Blog Spotlight:** **[“Help Your Members Achieve Certification with APA Resources”](https://blogs.americanpayroll.org/chapter-leaders/help-your-members-achieve-certification-with-apa-resources)** Learn more about the tools and resources APA offers to help payroll professionals prepare for CPP and FPC certification in this post on the Chapter Leaders Blog. --- *Julianna Hunt is Chapter Relations Coordinator and Conference Production Specialist for the APA.* ### Search ![payroll-logo-white](https://blogs.payroll.org/hs-fs/hubfs/payroll-logo-white.png?width=200&name=payroll-logo-white.png "payroll-logo-white") [Privacy Policy](http://www.americanpayroll.org/privacy/)     |     Acceptable Use ©[PayrollOrg](http://payroll.org) [![soc-fb](https://blogs.payroll.org/hubfs/ct-23-assets/footer-icon_fb.svg "soc-fb")](https://www.facebook.com/PayrollOrg) [![soc-in](https://blogs.payroll.org/hubfs/ct-23-assets/footer-icon_li.svg "soc-in")](https://www.linkedin.com/company/payroll-org/mycompany/) [![Twitter-X-White-Logo-PNG](https://blogs.payroll.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Twitter-X-White-Logo-PNG.png?width=20&height=19&name=Twitter-X-White-Logo-PNG.png)](https://twitter.com/PayNews)
