Reflections is a National PTA program that encourages students to explore the arts and express themselves through a nationwide contest.  Students can submit entries in the form of visual arts, literature, music composition, film production, photography or dance choreography.  Entries are judged on how well the art relates to the theme, creativity and technical aspects of the medium.

This contest is open to all students attending North Farmington High School.

The 2025-2026 theme is...

"I Belong"

Due Date:   Wednesday, November 5, 2025

Judging

In general, we conduct blind judging, so please do not write your name on your entry.  Judges are selected from the community and are knowledgeable in the category.   Click here to read how judges are asked to determine their scores.  Note that the Interpretation of the Theme receives more points than creativity or skill, so a strong artist statement is important.
