PTA Reflections Art Contest 2025-2026
Reflections is a National PTA arts recognition program that encourages students to explore their thoughts, feelings, and ideas through the arts. It helps students build artistic skills, boost confidence, and develop a lifelong love for learning.
Students in grades K–12 are invited to create original works of art inspired by this year's theme: "I Belong!"
Students may submit entries in one or more of the following categories:
- Dance Choreography
- Film Production
- Literature
- Music Composition
- Photography
- Visual Arts
Finalists from MISD will move on to the state level. Washington State PTA finalists who receive an Outstanding Interpretation award will then advance to the National PTA level.
Please review the official Reflections rules carefully. Students may submit one entry per category but are encouraged to participate in multiple categories.
Submission deadline: December 5, 2025 by 3:00 pm
For Visual Arts and Photography, please also drop off a physical copy in the Reflections box at your school's front office.
