PTA REFLECTIONS ART CONTEST

  • The annual PTA Reflections Art Contest is officially underway! This nationwide program gives students a chance to express their creativity through visual art, literature, photography, music, dance, or film; all centered around this year’s theme, “I Belong.”
  • Students are encouraged to reflect on what it means to feel accepted, included, and valued. Whether that’s at home, at school, or in their community, and show that feeling through their art. Entries are due by Thursday, November 20. Important: Only students whose parents are current PTA members may submit entries.
  • For entry forms, rules, and submission details, please visit the national PTA website for more information.

 

ABOUT REFLECTIONS Reflections has been a staple arts program in many schools for 50 years. Through the efforts of our Local PTAs, millions of students have found a creative outlet in the areas of dance choreography, film production, literature, music composition, photography, and visual arts.

 

Theme for 2025-2026: 

Student Participation

The Reflections program is open to all Texas students who meet the necessary requirements below:

Schools Supported by a Local PTA/PTSA:

  • Students must attend a school with a Local PTA/PTSA, or students must attend a school which is defined within the service area of a community-based Local PTA/PTSA; and
  • The student or at least one person from their primary household must be a current member of the Local PTA/PTSA where the student is participating. Each Local PTA/PTSA may determine a date by which the member must join.

Entry Forms and Rules

Students should download the Program Rules to ensure their art meets the requirements for each art category. Each entry must be accompanied by a completed Student Entry form.
