EVALUATION PROCESS

The students submit artwork to their Local PTAs.
The work is judged by a panel of volunteer teachers. The winning entries advance to the County level for judging. County level winners proceed to State level and then onto National.
Entries will be judged primarily on how well the student uses his or her artistic vision to portray the theme, originality and creativity.
All participants are recognized.
Awards are given to first, second and third place winners. Awards will be announced according to local and state procedures.
National award recipients will be notified via email by National PTA, typically in May.
