What is Reflections?
The Reflections Program is a National PTA cultural arts competition that provides an opportunity for students to use their creative talents by expressing themselves through their own original works. Each year, artwork is based on a theme. This year's theme is "Accepting Imperfection". 

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.

How does the program work?

Each school has a Reflections chair who manages the program for the school. The chair promotes the program to students and parent/guardians, collects entries, reviews entries, and submits them to Council. The entries are then judged and may continue to the State and National level.

How do I run Reflections at my school?
  • Register your program with National PTA, so they know that your school is participating.
  • Select a Reflections Chair to lead your school's program and complete this quick form to share your local PTA details with Council.
  • Set your school's due date for submissions. Allow time to review and judge the entries to determine which 20 (+6 Accessible Arts pieces) you will advance to Council.​
  • Promote the program at your school. You can download and customize these announcements and PPT slides. And find more promotional materials at WSPTA Reflections, in the Leader Resources section.
  • Submit list of entries to Council by Friday, December 6th. Each PTA President and Reflections Chair will be emailed instructions on how to submit entries.
  • Collect Visual Art, 3D art, and photography from students. The art will be displayed at the Council Reflections reception in January 2025.
  • Celebrate at our Council Reflections Reception in January 2025 and see artwork from all the Council qualifiers. 

Council is here to help you make it easy! Contact our Reflections chair at ​[email protected].
