Explore the Arts and Express Yourself!
National PTA has a long-standing commitment to arts education. The Reflections program provides opportunities for recognition and access to the arts which boost student confidence and success in the arts and in life.
Each year, over 300,000 students in Pre-K through Grade 12 create original works of art in response to a student-selected theme. This 50+ year-old program helps them explore their own thoughts, feelings and ideas, develop artistic literacy, increase confidence and find a love for learning that will help them become more successful in school and in life.
For more information about this national PTA program, including the rules and FAQs, please click here.
The 2026–2027 Reflections theme is: What My Culture Means to Me
Students submit their ORIGINAL works of art in one or all of the available arts categories: Dance Choreography, Film Production, Literature, Music Composition, Photography, Visual Arts.
Online entry forms are due on October 1, 2026.
