Here are the LME Reflections 2023 slides, to this year's "I AM HOPEFUL BECAUSE..." submissions.
CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR Laurel Mountain Participants on a job well done!
The 2023-2024 Reflections theme: "I AM HOPEFUL BECAUSE..." "TENGO ESPERANZA PORQUE..."
The PTA’s arts program, Reflections, celebrates the creativity of all students, from Pre-K through high school. Annually, thousands of students across the country will reflect on a common theme and create original works of art. Reflections is more than a competition; it’s a celebration of creativity and imagination!
CONTESTANT INFORMATION
All entries must include a title and an artist statement. The artist statement communicates what inspired the work, how it relates to the theme, and the content of the work. The statement must include 10-100 words. All students will be judged at their school-level PTA Reflections Contest. The top 20% from each school will advance to the RRISD Council of PTAs level competition. Entries are due by Friday October 27, 2023, digitally and physically.

FINALIST SELECTION AND NOTIFICATION: Entries are reviewed at local, council, state and national levels. Each PTA determines its own judges for the program. Entries will be judged primarily on how well the student uses his or her artistic vision to portray the theme, originality and creativity. The National PTA Reflections® program makes no restrictions on content or subject matter in artwork. Under no condition may parents or students contact the judges to dispute the status of any entry. Awards are announced at each level of judging at the Coordinator’s discretion. Texas PTA award results will be posted on the Texas PTA website in March. National award recipients are notified via email by National PTA in May. Each PTA in its sole discretion will select finalists for exhibition and provide awards.
