We are thrilled to introduce the theme for the 2024-2025 PTA Reflections Art Program, “Accepting Imperfection.” This year’s program aims to inspire students to express their creativity while embracing their unique perspectives.
Resources and Guidelines
All the updated resources for the Reflections Program, including National PTA promotional materials, guidelines, and judging resources, are available online:
-
Rules by Category, Participation Forms, and Post-Reflections Materials: Explore Here
-
Reflections Resources on the Leader’s Website: This section includes job descriptions, rules, links to past trainings, and a new virtual form link for units and councils. Visit the Leader’s Website and go to the Reflections section in the dropdown menu.
New Virtual Form
The new virtual form for the Reflections Program can be accessed here. Note that the details section is now required. For Visual Arts or Photography entries, students must detail any computer-generated or edited work. All other categories should either write “N/A” or provide relevant details.
Ensure your entries are submitted on time to avoid disqualification. Here are the recommended due dates, but please check with your Council and District PTAs for their exact deadlines. We recommend that units use a deadline of Oct 15 so that judging is completed in time for the Council PTA level of judging (recommended deadline in early November) and District PTA judging (recommended deadline in early December.)

Get Involved
Our committee will be conducting District & Council training sessions this summer and hosting virtual unit-level trainings. We would love to attend your leadership trainings to present the Reflections Program and help your PTA/PTSAs get ready to participate. Remember, the members of the Reflections Committee are also available as District mentors for the Reflections program.
