2026-27 California State PTA Reflections Theme Search Digital |
The search is on for a future Reflections theme!
National PTA’s Reflections program has helped 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 in school and in life.
Each year, over 300,000 students in Pre-K through Grade 12 create original works of art in response to a student-selected theme. In response to this theme, students create works of art in one or all the available arts categories: Dance Choreography, Film Production, Literature, Music Composition, Photography, Visual Arts.
Inspiring student entries are being sought for the theme of the 2026-27 PTA Reflections program year.
We’re looking for the most original theme ideas. This means past themes and duplicate submissions will not be considered.
Use this form to submit your theme ideas.
Students may submit multiple entries; however, a digital form will have to be completed for each entry. If your theme is selected as one of the five winning entries from California advancing to the National PTA for final judging, your virtual signature constitutes the release of student name and theme entry. We will follow up with the awards and other information as needed. Each of the five winning entries at the California State PTA level of judging will receive a $25 gift card. The student submitting the theme selected by the National PTA will receive $100 prize.
