to fill out your entry form information (there is an area to include digital copies of art work) and hit submit.
*You will still need to print out a copy of the form (see directions on digital form for how to do that), and have it signed by your parents (we cannot accept entries without parent signatures) and bring that as well as your physical art work to MPMS front office on the submission date OCTOBER 24th.
We realize that going digital may create some growing pains. If you prefer you may still submit a manual entry form (click here) http://www.wakepta.org/uploads/1/2/6/6/12665306/19-20-student-packet-template_2.pdf. However please print legibly or type your artist statement/entry information, since your Reflections chair will be entering any manual entries digitally to Wake County.
Our school’s winning pieces will advance to the county level, county winners will advance to state, and state winners will advance to nationals. Our school will display all participating student’s work, regardless of placement to highlight the talents and gifts of our Leopards.
