Reflections Overview
Welcome to the Idaho PTA Reflections program!
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.
Students in pre-K through grade 12 create original works of art in response to a theme. The theme for the 2025-2026 program is “I Belong!”
Students submit their completed works of art in one or more of the available arts categories: Dance Choreography, Film Production, Literature, Music Composition, Photography, Visual Arts, and Accessible Arts. While the primary focus of Reflections is a celebration of creativity through positive recognition, finalists from local PTAs will move on to the state round.
Young artists get involved by contacting their local PTA leaders. The deadline for turning in artwork to your local PTA will typically be in late autumn. Local PTAs can choose to accept physical or virtual entries. Only virtual submissions will be sent to the Idaho PTA level for judging.

NEXT YEAR’S THEME SEARCH
The 2028-2029 REFLECTION’S THEME SEARCH
Each year, students are invited to submit themes for the annual Reflections Art Program that will inspire young artists to create original works. We are currently collecting student-generated theme proposals for the 2028-2029 school year. The deadline for submitting Reflections Theme Ideas to Idaho PTA is November 20, 2026.
Please review themes from previous years before submitting a theme for 2028-2029, as past themes will not be considered for future submission.
Submit your unique theme idea to Idaho PTA by clicking on this form.
All submissions will be reviewed by our Idaho PTA Reflections Committee, and the top five theme suggestions will be sent to the National Theme Search Committee. The student who submits the winning entry on the national level will receive a $100 prize from National PTA.
