Reflections Art

The National PTA Reflections Art Competition is a program that encourages students to express themselves creatively and celebrates their original works.  The program also aims to increase our community’s awareness on the importance of art education. This year’s theme is “What my culture means to me”. Learn more on the theme here: https://www.pta.org/home/programs/reflections. All students attending PTA schools sponsoring the program are invited to participate and submit original artwork in the following six categories:

  • Dance Choreography

  • Film Production

  • Literature

  • Music Composition

  • Photography

  • Visual Arts

General information from the California State PTA available here. If you would like to see some sample winning artworks at the state level from last year, they can be found here. 

Each year, students are invited to submit themes for the annual Reflections Art Program that will inspire young artists to create original works.
