Basic Entry Guidelines

• All entries are due by Wednesday, October 20th.

• All entries must be submitted online. It is easier than ever before! (More information below)

• A parent/guardian must provide permission during the online submission process.

• Students may submit only one entry for each of the categories. (That means that one student can submit up to 7 entries.)

• Artwork must be the ORIGINAL work of only one student. Multiple people may perform a dance or appear in a video, photo or musical composition but the creator must be one student.

• Please be careful of any copyright infringements. Artwork that contains any trademarked or copyrighted images or references will be disqualified.

• Artwork will be judged by professionals/individuals with experience in the relevant field.

• The "Artist Statement" is the student's interpretation of the theme and is worth HALF of the total score. Students should spend time thinking about their Artist Statement. It should explain how their art relates to the theme of "I Will Change the World By..."

• All students will receive an award and certificate for participating but students who are awarded a Certificate of Excellence in their category will be advanced to the next level of judging.

How to Submit Artwork Online

All entries must be submitted through the Utah PTA online Reflections system (utahpta.org/ref). This will make it possible for students to participate safely and minimize contact for students, teachers, PTA volunteers and judges.

Before October 20th, parents should visit the Utah PTA Reflections Website. A parent or guardian will need to create an account and can then upload the artwork and student information. You can submit entries for multiple students through the same online family account, no matter which grade level or school in Davis district.
