Reflections
Reflections is a National PTA arts recognition program that helps students 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 not only in school, but in life.
K-12 Art Recognition Program
2024-2025 Entries
Students create their work of art and write a short artist statement based on the theme "Accepting Imperfection"; judging is based on both the artwork and artist statement.
Students submit their completed works of art in one, or all, of the available arts categories. Students can submit multiple pieces, but only piece per category (i.e. a poem and a picture but not two poems or two pictures).
The top entries from the 6 categories (up to 20 pieces) move on to have their art celebrated at a Northshore Council PTA district showcase which then can go to Washington State level and beyond! You have a chance to go all the way to nationals!
Complete information and rules can be found on the Washington State PTA Reflections website and Northshore Council Reflections website has even more information!
Submissions are due November 22nd by noon.
