Reflections is a wonderful opportunity for students' creativity to be recognized,
which helps to build confidence regardless of the outcome!
We encourage ALL Skyview students to imagine and explore with Reflections!
The Reflections Theme for 2025-26 is
“I Belong!”
Students have the opportunity to create submissions based on this year's theme, in the categories of Visual 2D and 3D Art, Dance, Literature, Music, Photography, and Film Production.
PTA Reflections is a nationally acclaimed student art program. Students of all grades and abilities may participate by submitting original pieces of work in six categories: dance, musical composition, visual arts, film, literature and photography. Each year, students create work based on a theme. This year’s theme is I Belong!.
Judging is based on both the artwork and artist statement, and will be judged at the local level, and may continue to state, and even the National PTA level.
Reflections is so much more than "just an art contest."
Watch this brief video for a Reflections introduction.
A student may submit an entry in any of six arts areas. Only original works of art are accepted. The six art areas are:
Take inspiration from this year's theme, "I Belong!” and create.
In addition to the general Reflections rules above, there are also rules specific to each category.
Entries must meet the criteria written in the guidelines, especially file type/format, length, and size. Students should not have their full names displayed in the art piece.
