Calling All Artists!!
UPDATE – Reflections Entries can be submitted online this year!!!!
The Reflections Art Competition is a National PTA program that starts at the school level. Each year students are invited to create original works of art around a theme. Pieces are evaluated by local artists and art educators. Top scoring works advance to the district level with the opportunity to advance to the state and even national level of the competition.
The theme for 2020-2021 is “I Matter Because…“. All students are invited to submit work on this theme within 6 art categories (seen below). Entries must be the original work of one student created for this year’s competition. Please look over the rules for the contest before your student begins work on their piece. If artwork is submitted that doesn’t meet the guidelines, we cannot advance the piece. Submissions with completed entry forms should be emailed to Amy Pitt at reflections@stillwaterptsa.org by Friday, November 5th. For Visual Arts – send photograph of artwork for the submission. For Photography and Literature – send original files. For Music, Dance, and Film – send link to files that can be downloaded.
***Pro tip – the theme matters!! Judges use the artist statement on the entry form to consider how the student interpreted the theme.***
