Literature

works of fiction, nonfiction, poetry, prose, drama, short stories and lyrics.

Music Composition

original musical composition, with or without words.

Photography

color or black and white, included techniques: photogram, negative sandwich, and multiple exposure.

 

Visual Art

drawing, painting in tempera, oil, acrylic, watercolor & t-shirt paints, computer generated art, two-dimensional collage, printmaking, needlework & leather tooling.
 
Entries may advance from the local PTA level through district, state, and national competitions for awards and recognition.
