OPEN HOUSE to celebrate all the district entries:
Reflections is a National PTA arts contest open to students in grades pre-K through 12th grade. While the primary focus of Reflections is a celebration of creativity through positive recognition, finalists from local PTAs will move on to their council PTA (if applicable), then finalists from councils will move on to the state round. Washington State PTA finalists who receive an “Outstanding Interpretation” award will advance to the National PTA round.
Participate in the PTSA Reflections program by submitting your completed works of art in one or all available art categories: Dance Choreography, Film Production, Literature, Music Composition, Photography, and Visual Arts (2D). Students may submit in as many arts categories as they would like, but just one piece per category.
The program has four rounds: RMS(Sept-Nov), District/Council (Nov-Jan), State (Jan-Mar) and National (Mar-May).
- Once all RMS entries are scored, only the top 10 will advance to LWPTSA Council (district) level. Entries will be submitted to council by the Reflections Chair.
- Entries may not have more than 100 words in the Artist Statement. Having more can disqualify the entry.
- Please ready the rules for your entry's category CAREFULLY. Not following them will lead to your entry being disqualified.
