2024-2025 Reflections Call For Entries

2024-2025 LJ Reflections Call For Entries

Reflections is a National PTA-sponsored program that encourages students to express themselves through the arts. Students can submit work in the following six categories: Dance Choreography, Music Composition, Literature, Film Production, Visual Arts and Photography. Student submissions are reviewed by independent third-party judges based on artistic skill as well as interpretation of the theme. The winner in each category moves on to the County level, then possibly to the District level, State level and finally to the National competition. Entries can either be submitted digitally or in person in Ms Lundeen’s art room.

This year’s theme is — “Accepting Imperfection”

Please carefully reviews all the rules and guidelines (English/ Spanish) and pay particular attention to the
following additional rules:

Dance and Film: if background music is used, citation is required
Literature: include word count, entries must be less than 2,000 words
Music: list musicians and/or instrumentation, entries must include music and a score
