Packaging guidlines

If your child has participated in Reflections before, you are probably well aware of the packaging guidelines that we always have to follow. Please remember that these are required so that once your child turns their entry in we can do our best to make sure that it stays in great condition until it is returned to them. For 2D Visual Arts and Photography, please make sure that your child's artwork is mounted to something firm, that their name and our school are written on the back (do NOT have this information on the front though), then wrap the entry in plastic. You can get "clear wrapping paper" at any hobby store and some Wal-Marts. Just wrap it around and tape it in the back. Another option, if the entry is small enough, is placing the entry in a "portfolio sleeve" and taping that shut. Here are some examples that even come with the mounting board that you can put the artwork on (if it isn't needed you can remove it from the sleeve).  Portfolio Sleeve

For 3D entries, they need to be protected, so in some sort of box or container so that they will not get broken. You also need to include 3 photos of the entry from different angles.

For Music, Dance, Literature, and Film the entries need to be in a manilla ENVELOPE. Previous years literature has been in a manila folder; but it now needs to be in an envelope. Please do not tape these shut.

FOR ALL ENTRIES please have the entry form in a standard sheet protector (you can get them at the grocery store, Target, Wal-Mart, etc). Tape the sides and bottom of this to the entry (to the manila envelope or to the back of the photo or artwork on the outside of the cellophane or portfolio sleeve). For the top, only tape the inside part, leave the sheet protector open so that we have access to the entry form. We have to be able to pull these out. Please enter the following information on all entry forms in the PTA information area:

Here is the link for all of the rules for Georgia. Just remember that for our school and council 2D and 3D entries will be in separate categories. At the state level they will be in the same category.
