What is Reflections?
Reflections is a National PTA arts competition that encourages students to showcase their creativity. If your child enjoys art, they’ll love participating in this year’s program.
Students in Kindergarten through 12th Grade may submit work in one or more categories: Dance Choreography, Film Production, Literature, Music Composition, Photography, or Visual Arts.
Entries are judged on creativity and interpretation of the theme. Each category has specific rules, so please review them before submitting.
