Judging

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.

(Top 4 entries from Districts advance to the State Reflections Contest.  Top single entry from State in each category advances to the National Reflections Contest.  Scholarships awarded to top National entries.)
