Reflections® is a theme-focused National PTA and Washington State PTA arts recognition program. The Reflections program celebrates the creativity of K-12 students and encourages school age youth to express themselves through the arts. Student art is judged first at the school level. Finalists from the school level will advance to the district level (Shoreline) and then proceed to the state and national levels for judging. For more information about Reflections, click here.
The categories for entry are:
- Music: musical composition, with or without words
- Writing: fiction, nonfiction, poetry, prose, drama, short stories, lyrics
- Photography: color or black and white photography (various photographic techniques accepted)
- Visual Arts: 2D – drawing, painting, computer generated art, collage, printmaking, or 3D – sculptural works (clay, wood, glass, leather, fabric, etc.)
- Film/ Video Production: animation, narrative, documentary, experimental or music video (with or without audio)
