Shoreline PTA Council announces finalists in the 2021 "Reflections" Arts competition

Friday, February 26, 2021

The PTA Reflections arts competition is an annual event, occurring nationwide every fall.

The National PTA chooses a theme from a contest of student submissions and students are encouraged to submit original artwork, photographs, literature, film video, music compositions and dance choreography to their schools in November.

The Reflections Art Competition for 2020/21 with the theme of “I matter because…” was held virtually.

Shoreline Council PTAs held Reflections events at each school and sent a total of 74 finalists to our district competition. 31 of those were selected to go to the state competition.

There was artwork from all around the Shoreline School District in categories of Visual Arts, Music Composition, Literature, Photography, Film Production, and Dance.

"Our judges are professionals in art fields, and we are so appreciative of their time and expertise. We would also like to send a huge thank you to the individual school Reflections chairs who kept this program alive this year! Congratulations to ALL participants and to the finalists moving on to the state level of competition."

Please take a few minutes to view the event slide show showcasing the artwork, photography, literature, films, dance and music compositions.
