All students are invited to enter the Reflections 2024-25 Competition. The Reflections Program is a National PTA and Georgia PTA cultural arts competition. Each year, over 300,000 students in Pre-K through Grade 12 create original works of art in response to a student-selected theme. This 50+ year-old program helps them explore their own thoughts, feelings and ideas, develop artistic literacy, increase confidence and find a love for learning that will help them become more successful in school and in life.
Since 1969, over 10 million students of all ages have taken part in this program nationally in order to:
- Unleash their creative talents and be inspired
- Express themselves imaginatively in their artwork
- Experience the joy and fun of making art
- Tap into critical thinking skills to create art inspired by the annual theme
- Receive positive recognition for their original works of art
***2024 REFLECTIONS SUBMISSIONS WILL BE COLLECTED ONLINE ONLY.***
How to Participate
Only original works of art created entirely by the student are accepted. Submissions are evaluated at the school level first, with winners advancing on to County, State, and National level competitions. Scoring is based on Creativity, Technical Skill, and Interpretation of the Theme, which changes each year.
This year’s theme is: Accepting Imperfection
Submissions are due November 12, 2024.
