Thank you to all the previous Reflections participants. I am always amazed and inspired at the talent we have at Cheatham Hill. It’s exciting to see you express your artistic abilities.

Please review the important information regarding what is required for your Reflections entry. PLEASE READ ALL RULES. All students must adhere to the General Student Participation Rules as well as the rules for their specific arts area. Rules and forms are available below or visit www.PTAreflections.org for more information.

Student Entry Form
In order to be accepted, the Student Entry form must be completed entirely and signed. The form must have the signatures of both the student and the parent/guardian

Required Title and Artist Statement
Each entry must include a Title and an Artist Statement. The purpose of this statement is for the child to explain how the entry relates to, embodies, or is inspired by the national theme.

Required Consent Form
The National PTA requires that signed consent forms be submitted along with the Student Entry Form for all individuals who appear in a dance choreography, film production, or photography entry—and if it includes images of an individual in a literature or visual arts entry. If an individual appearing in an entry is under the age of 18, parental consent should also be obtained and submitted.

Originality
All entries into the Reflections Program must be new pieces of artwork inspired by the current year’s theme and created expressly for the program. Artwork produced before the dissemination of the theme or created and used for another competition or program may not be submitted.

A Word To Parents
As with any student activity, parent involvement and support are very important. But parents must remember that student artists need to be responsible for their own work. Children must make their own decisions about what to create and what to enter in the Reflections Program. Students should simply do their best; crooked lines, incorrect musical notes, or misspelled words do not disqualify anyone. Each entry must be the original work of one student only. An adult may not alter the creative integrity of a student’s work. Because the program is designed to encourage and recognize each student’s individual creativity, help from an adult or collaboration with other students is not allowed.

Entries will be accepted on Monday, October 3 from 7:30 – 8:30 a.m. in the Media Center.
If you have questions regarding this program or would like to volunteer, please contact Elsa Wehrenberg @ ElsaSW@aol.com or (770) 218-5457.
