The first section of the form will be filled out by a PTA Board member later. Please start filling out the form after the black box.

My child wants to participate multiple times in the same category / different categories .Is that allowed?

 

Yes! It’s wonderful your child is so motivated and inspired to show his/her work. Students can enter their work multiple times in multiple categories.

Does one member of our household HAVE to be a member of the PTA?

 

Yes. That is one of the requirements to be able to join the Reflections program. The best part is it hardly takes couple of minutes to join! Please scan the QR code on the Reflections flyer or go to the link https://norrispta.membershiptoolkit.com

 

Yes. Like all programs and competitions, Reflections has some rules as well. You can find them next to ‘Student Program Rules Packet’ at https://www.txpta.org/reflections-participation

Alright I have filled out my section of the entry form and it’s complete. How do we submit my child’s work and form?

 

Awesome! If your child chose visual arts and/or photography, please attach both the form and your child’s work placing them in the submission box labeled ‘Reflections Submissions’ outside the front office in the school lobby. Now if your child chose literature, film production, music composition, dance choreography, please send the entry form (completing your section of the form) and your child’s work as an attachment to artsineducation@norrispta.org

 

 

Judging will take place at the Norris level using outside judges who review each of the anonymous pieces. Grades K-2 will be judged in the Primary Division and grade 3-5 will be judged in the Intermediate Division. Works are scores on “Interpretation of Theme” (50%), “Artistic Merit & Creativity” (30%) and “Mastery of Medium” (20%). Please be sure to describe how your work interprets the theme “Accepting Imperfection” in your Artistic Statement on the Entry Form.

What about Awards and Recognition?

So glad you asked! Judging and recognition occurs locally and students progress through regional, state, and national levels. Recognition is the focus of the program and there are many ways student artists are celebrated. You won’t be disappointed because all entries at Norris are celebrated and Recognized!

I have more questions. Who should I reach out to?

 

That’s okay! Please feel free to email artsineducation@norrispta.org and someone will definitely reply back.
