For over 50 years, National PTA's Reflections program has helped students explore their own thought, 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.

Each year, over 300,000 students in Pre-K through Grade 12 create original works of art in response to a student-selected theme. The theme for 2026-2027 program year is "What my Culture Means to Me" Students submit their completed works of art in one or all of the available art categories:

Arts Categories

Dance Choreography

Film Production

Literature

Music Composition

Photography

Visual Arts

Students participate in the appropriate division for their grade: Primary (Pre-K - Grade 2), Intermediate (Grades 3-5), Middle School (Grades 6-8), High School (Grades 9-12), Special Artist (All grades welcome). Students who identify as having a disability and may receive services under IDEA or ADA: Section 504 may enter in the Special Artist Division or grade division most closely aligned to their functional abilities.*

Student winners from the local level have the opportunity to move up through their district, region, council and state PTA programs to the National Level. National Reflections winners are celebrated annually at National PTA's Convention & Expo in June.

Deadline for entries is September 4th!

Complete the online form & hand in your art piece to the front office.
