2009-2010 State Results

Texas students created more than 107,000 entries for our 2009-2010 Reflections program, Beauty Is!  Of the 2200 pieces that advanced to state-level judging, Texas PTA is proud to have awarded more than 800 students for their outstanding work!  In the coming weeks, Texas PTA will be contacting each recognized student with more information on receiving their award. 

For the Overall Award of Excellence entries that were forwarded to National PTA, we anticipate that their results will be available in May.  National PTA will notify all winners and we will also post the results on our Web site. 

The 2009-2010 results are posted below.  Due to space constraints, only those entries receiving recognition are listed.  Please note that all visual arts and photography entries will be returned to your Council or Area PTA before the end of the school year.  If you have any questions, please contact the Texas PTA Programs Department, programs@txpta.org.

It’s been another year of amazing talent, and we look forward to 2011!
