Reflections Art Contest

9/29/2022 7:34 pm

We are excited to announce the 2022-2023 PTA Reflections Program and invite all OHES students to create a piece of original artwork based on this year’s Reflections theme: Show Your Voice

The PTA Reflections program aims to help all students explore their thoughts, feelings and ideas while developing their artistic literacy and increasing their confidence. Students create original artwork inspired by their reflections on this year’s theme. Students may submit their completed works of art in one or all of the available arts categories: Dance Choreography, Film Production, Literature, Music Composition, Photography, and Visual Arts. Participating in Reflections is easy and all students are encouraged to think about this year’s theme and use their imagination to create artwork to share with the Orange Hunt Elementary School community. Students’ artwork will be judged by a panel of volunteer judges and winning submissions for each category will be sent to the Fairfax County Council PTA to compete against students from throughout the county. 

Student entries are due on October 30th. Click here for additional information and here for entry form.
