The Reflections Program

Participating in National and Illinois PTA's Reflection Program is an opportunity for students to explore and learn about various art forms. It does not matter whether an entry created for the Reflections Program has been created as a classroom assignment or independently at home.

When children express themselves through words, pictures, music, photography, and other art forms, they grow intellectually. They learn to analyze their thoughts, feelings, and ideas. They learn to look at things, people, and experiences in a fresh and exciting way, and they become more interested in the ideas and works of others. The Reflections Program also helps parents encourage and recognize the continuous self-discovery process of their children.

Young artists participate in the Reflections Program through their local PTA or PTSA. A student may submit an entry in any of the four arts areas listed below. Only original works of art are accepted. Once judged at the local level, the winners go on to the council and/or district judging. Those winners go to the Illinois PTA to receive recognition. The best project in each grade level, from each category, will advance to the National PTA level.

The four categories are:

Literature
Musical
Composition
Photography
Dance and Choreography
Film Video Production
Visual Arts

The Grade divisions are:

Primary (preschool-grade 2)
Intermediate (grades 3-5)
Middle/Junior (grades 6-8)
Senior (grades 9-12)

All students attending a school in Illinois where their PTA offers the Reflection Program may participate.
