What is Reflections
The Reflections Program is a National PTA and WSPTA cultural arts competition. The purpose is to provide an opportunity for students to use their creative talents by expressing themselves through their own original works for the theme of "I Will Change the World By...". 

Why Reflections?
Reflections is so much more than "just an art contest."  It helps kids take risks, be inspired, think creatively, receive positive recognition, and be celebrated for their works of art.  It also allows our community to celebrate creativity in our students! Studies have shown there is a relationship between the arts and health and well-being across one’s lifespan.  Thank you for encouraging art by doing Reflections at your PTA! 

What do you need to know as a Local PTA for Reflections?
Council is here to help you make it easy!  Ask questions.  Join the Northshore Council PTSA Reflections and Art Docent Chairs Facebook page, sign up for the "almost weekly" communications.
  • Each PTA can turn in 20 pieces and up to 6 Special Artists Pieces. 
  • Turn pieces in by December 3rd at 9:00 p.m. (the week AFTER Thanksgiving this year).​ 
    • ​Council & WSPTA will only accept online submissions for 2021-22. Each Local PTA President and Reflections Chair will be emailed a specific link and instructions for online submission to Council.
      • Try to submit high quality scans or digital photos as all artworks will be judged digitally at Council and State levels.
      • When uploading to Council, please use the following file name format so we can attribute the artwork to the correct student: Student First Name and Last Name - Arts Category - Form or Artwork. Note: There should be two submissions for each student, the entry form and the artwork.
    • Each local PTA can choose to accept submissions online, in person, or a combination of both. Make sure to set a due date that allows time to judge the submitted pieces in order to determine which 20 (+6 Special Artist) you will advance to Council.
  • Council Celebration Open House for all Council qualifiers will be in early January 2022. Exact date, time, and location are TBD. Please check back for additional information on how we plan to celebrate Northshore artists while also following district and county public health requirements.
