Reflections is a PTA-sponsored arts-in-education program that encourages children to express themselves through literature, art, music, photography, dance and film.
This year’s theme is “Wow!” The way I explained this to the children is that “Wow” can be anything that is amazing, beautiful, neat, cool, wonderful, sweet … basically whatever they find interesting can be the subject for their “Wow” artwork. And since this is an art contest, we feel that anyone who makes a genuine effort should win. Every child who enters will take home a trophy!
There are some rules and guidelines for entering in each category. Your child can submit as many entries as he or she wishes in each category. For instance, kids can do three paintings and one music entry.
Creating art is a valuable learning experience. Please encourage children to participate so that they can bask in the glory of receiving a trophy at the awards ceremony December 11!
Entries will be judged, and some will move on to the local, state and national Reflections competition. Click here to check out last year’s winners.
