Guidelines for 2011-2012 Reflections Entries
Due in front office by Friday, October 21, 2011
“Diversity means…” is the theme this year
1) Six categories : visual arts, literature, musical composition, photography, film production and dance choreography.
2) Specific info about rules and suggestions for each of 6 categories most easily found at http://www.ptareflections.org/cs/rules_and_documents
This website also has a video for each category and how best to present – very specific entry, labeling and packaging requirements.
3) Judging based on interpretation of theme, artistic merit and mastery of medium. For example, this means that spelling and grammar count!
4) Original works only. Students may submit multiple entries.
5) No multidimensional pieces, frames, sculpture or ceramics will be accepted.
6) No copyrighted materials, such as cartoons or pictures from magazines.
7) All entries must be titled by the student.
8) All entries must have artist statement – everyone who enters is considered an artist, not just the painters! This can be one sentence or an additional sheet of paper, but is highly weighted in judging the student’s interpretation of the theme.
9) All entries must be signed by student and parent/guardian – no exceptions.
10)Separate consent form required if actual faces or voices are recorded.
11)No separate “special artist” forms this year – last year, our “special artist” entries were very competitive with those not labeled as such.
12)Please ask your students to write all information clearly and legibly. There are writeable forms on line this year - we must be able to read their names and phone numbers in order to contact them when they win!
Thanks for all your support and efforts in behalf of our students!
