Reflections Arts Competition 2024-2025
Calling all OGE artists! The PTA Reflections Art Competition info
The PSA Reflections art program is a great opportunity for students to submit original artwork in 6 different categories:
- Film production
- Music composition
- Visual arts
- Dance choreography
- Literature
- Photography
The 2024-2025 theme is “Accepting Imperfection.”
Reflections is open to all OGE students! OGE Deadline was October 15, 2024.
Winning school-level submissions will move on to the District’s competition,
then possibly State and Nationals.
New this year: Click this Google Form to fill Student's details and upload the followings:
(1) Student's Scanned Completed Submission form*; and
(2) a copy** of Student's Artwork Entry from one of the 6 categories
by Monday, October 21, 2024.
*View/Download Submission Form. One form needed for each piece of art submitted.
Local PTA: Oak Grove PTA and Local PTA ID is 00001668
**If you're submitting Visual Arts, please send a photo of your artwork and bring the original artwork to school (see more details below).
Here are some important things to remember:
-
Entries must be the creative product of the student artist alone.
-
It's encouraged that entries be an interpretation of this year's theme.
-
The entry form includes an Artist Statement where the student will describe the artwork and how it relates to the theme.
-
Entries will be judged by grade & by category at OGE (i.e., Visual Arts - 3rd grade, Photography - 1st grade, etc.).
-
Please be aware of rules for each art category! Rules for 2024-25 have not been released yet by GA PTA but will be made available here when they're available. View 2023-2024 Rules
-
Many of the categories will be digital submissions (film production, music composition, dance choreography, literature, and photography). We ask that Visual Arts entries be submitted both as the physical artwork originals and as pictures of your Visual Arts submission. After school-level judging is complete, advancing entries will move on digitally within the National PTA's Reflections portal. The physical artwork originals will be displayed at school and returned later in the year. For other artwork such as literature and photography that you'd like to be displayed at school, please send a copy of your art.
-
For students who identify as having a disability, a Special Artist Division is available.
