Only 1 entry per category per student is permitted.

Contact your Local School Reflections Chairperson or PTA for due date and information on how to submit to your school.

Consent form required for anyone featured in the entry that is not the entering student. The Consent Form is located on the right side of the page. 

Do not write student name on the front of any entries. Do not include entering student's name inside any music, dance or film files.

There are 5 Age Groups/Divisions:

• Primary – Preschool – Grade 2 or up to age 7
• Intermediate – Grades 3-5 or ages 8-10
• Middle School – Grades 6-8 or ages 11-13
• High School – Grades 9-12 or ages 14+ 
• Accessible Arts – Ungraded (Note: Students with disabilities are not required to participate in the Accessible Arts Division to receive non-artistic accommodations. They can participate with their actual or suppose based grade level age divisions. Non-artistic accommodations are those that do not influence the student artist's creative inspiration and/or process. Assistants to student artists may not involve themselves in the artistic process or act without direction from the artist. The age division a student with disabilities chooses to participate in must be consistent across all categories - i.e. can't choose Accessible Arts for one category and Middle School for another category.)
