PTA Reflections 2025–2026

Theme: I Belong!

Students may submit original works in these categories:

🎶 Dance Choreography
Students create and perform an original dance inspired by the theme. This can be any style of dance-recorded on video for submission.

🎬 Film Production
Students produce an original short film or animation that reflects the theme. Entries may include narrative, documentary, experimental, or multimedia projects. 

✍️ Literature
Students write an original piece of work such as a poem, short story, essay, play, or even a collection of lyrics. Entries are judged on how well the writing expresses the theme, not just on grammar or spelling.

🎼 Music Composition
Students compose their own original song or instrumental piece. It can be performed by the student, by others, or generated digitally.

📸 Photography
Students capture an original photo that interprets the theme. Photos may be color or black and white, digital or film, but must be taken by the student. Cropping, filters, and light editing are allowed.

🎨 Visual Arts (2D or 3D)
Students create original artwork such as drawings, paintings, printmaking, collages, mixed media, sculptures, or ceramics. Two-dimensional works are submitted as flat images; three-dimensional works can be photographed from multiple angles for judging.

An Accessible Arts Division is also available for students with disabilities, ensuring every child has a chance to share their unique perspective.

Reflections has been a staple arts program in many schools for over 50 years. Through the efforts of our Local PTAs, millions of students have found a creative outlet in the areas of dance choreography, film production, literature, music composition, photography, and visual arts.

With positive recognition as the focus of this program, rather than competition, students of all ages and abilities can experience the benefits of creative expression and help in finding their own voice in telling their unique story.

Started in 1969 by Mary Lou Anderson, then Colorado PTA President, Reflections has grown to be one of the largest nationwide programs of its kind, with more than 200,000 students participating

annually.
