Reflections
2023-24 Reflections Art Program
This year’s theme is I am Hopeful Because… Students create and submit original works of art in the categories of dance choreography, film production, literature, music composition, photography, and/or visual arts. Entries will be judged on three criteria: interpretation of theme, creativity, and technical skills. Each school will execute their own Reflections Art Contest at the local level and electronically submit the Outstanding Interpretation (1st place) winners to HCC PTA for participation at the county level.
