“WOW”.... is the inspiring theme for the National Reflection Contest. Participating students can interpret this theme in 6 creative categories: LITERATURE, PHOTOGRAPHY, VISUAL ARTS (Example: drawing, painting, collage and printmaking), FILM/VIDEO, DANCE and MUSIC! Don’t limit yourself to just 1 category or 1 entry! Last year we had a record breaking number of Reflection entries. Each one was unique and they were all phenomenal creative efforts. The judges for our school entries are all professionals in those fields and they were highly impressed by the efforts last year. There are 4 levels of competition where the 4 winners in each category proceed to the next level: first is your school, then county, state and finally national. Award ceremonies and certificates of participation and winner placement are given out at each level. Those dates will be announced. Along with those honors is the extra credit that your teachers give for completed entries by the deadline date. Please ask ALL your teachers whether they are giving extra credit.

Simple rule, entry forms, and entry drop box will be in the RHHS front office starting September 29th. Forms/rules will also be printable from the RHHS Website: riverhill.org/ptsa It is extremely important to fill out your Title and brief Artist Statement on your forms. START DATE: SEPTEMBER 29TH/DEADLINE: DECEMBER 12TH / AWARD CEREMONY: JANUARY 13th at 7:30-8:30 PM in the RHHS Media Center.

Don’t hesitate to call with any questions. Be sure to visit: http://www.pta.org/2032.asp for more information and to view last years winning entries. The Reflections Committee is looking forward to seeing all your creativity in interpreting the theme “WOW”... Knock our socks off!
