Reflections 

Call for entries!

Reflections is a National PTA sponsored arts recognition program that encourages artistic expression.  The 2023-2024 Reflections theme is "I AM HOPEFUL BECAUSE...". Use your imagination to create a film, song, artwork, photograph, poem, short story or dance routine. You may enter as many times as you like in as many categories as you like. Each entry must be accompanied by an official entry form. Be sure to reflect the theme in your work. Each entry must also conform to the guidelines developed by the National PTA. Please visit the Texas PTA website for complete participation guidelines: http://www.txpta.org/reflections-participation

***If you are submitting multiple entries, you need to fill out multiple entry forms. Use one entry form per each artwork submission***

Photography: upload a high-quality image

Visual Art: take a photo of the final art with a simple/plain background, only the art in the image

Dance: take a video as usual

Literature: type into a word processor, save as a pdf (so it cannot be easily changed) OR take a clear picture of the neatly handwritten entry
