Explore the Arts and Express Yourself!
Reflections is back and this year’s theme is: I Belong
Reflections is a National Arts competition covering six categories–visual arts, literature, photography, music composition, film production, and dance choreography. All students who love expressing themselves through the arts are encouraged to submit an entry. Students may even submit entries in more than one category.
You can find the entry forms and complete rules for each category linked below. Entry forms are also available in the media center. The student or at least one person from their primary household must be a current member of the NGMS PTSA.
All entries are due by Wednesday, October 1st. Submit Visual Arts and Photography entries to the media center. Submit Dance, Film, Literature, and Music entries digitally through the google form.
Entry Packet – The entry packet contains basic guidelines for the competition as well as the fillable pdf entry form. Every participant must fill out the pdf entry form and google form to submit with their entry. Visual Arts and Photography entries are submitted to the media center. Dance, Music, Literature and Film entries are uploaded digitally through the google form.
Rules for each division:
Helpful Hints:
- Print legibly or type your entry form.
- Make sure your visual arts and photography submissions are mounted properly. See rules for details.
- Do not glue or tape your entry form to your artwork. We will have to peel it off during the judging process. The best way to secure your entry form to your artwork is to put it in a sheet protector and glue or tape the sheet protector to the back of your artwork.
- Make sure you clearly express how your art relates to the theme. Theme Interpretation is worth 20 points, while Creativity and Technique are each worth 10 points.
- See Craft an Entry – Reflections Arts Program | National PTA for more guidance.
