The National PTA has made some changes in the Reflections Program for 2011-2012. Some of the changes are:

-All entries and documents must be labeled. For instance, Artist Statement must be labeled "state abbreviation.arts category.grade level.statement.student last name.student first name"

Examples: va.dance.mid.statement.smith.mary.doc or va.film.mid.statement.smith.mary.doc

-Only one format will be accepted for each category. They are as follows: Dance Choreography: .flv, Film Production: .flv, Literature Files: .doc (if typed), .pdf (if hand written), Music Files: .mp3, Music Scores: .pdf, Photography: .jpg, Visual Arts: .jpg

- Entries must be enclosed in or attached to a manila envelope with a clasp.

- All entries must have titles. “Untitled” will not be accepted.

- Consent forms are required this year whenever others appear in the student’s work.
