The Reflections Program is a National PTA and Washington State PTA cultural arts competition. The purpose of this program is to provide an opportunity for students to use their creative talents by expressing themselves through their own original works. 

Each year, Reflections challenges students to create art that supports a specific theme. Themes are selected from thousands of ideas submitted by students to National PTA's Reflections Theme Search. 

2013-14 Reflections theme is: "Believe, Dream, Inspire"

Young artists get involved in Reflections through their local PTA or PTSA. A student may submit an entry in any of six arts areas. Only original works of art are accepted. The six art areas are: Literature, Music Composition, Photography, Visual Arts, Film/Video and Choreography/Dance. 

Special Artists 

This year National PTA is launching a fifth division of the Reflections program – the Special Artist Division--in addition to the traditional divisions, Primary (grades preschool-2), Intermediate grades 3-5), Middle School (grades 6-8) and High School (grades 9-12). This is a non-graded division limited to students whose physical, cognitive or mental health challenges meet the guidelines set forth in the American Disabilities Act.
