The National PTA Reflections Program welcomes students of all grades and abilities to explore and be involved in the arts. For more than fifty years, millions of students have been inspired to participate by reflecting on a specific, student-selected theme to create original artwork.

The 2026 theme, What My Culture Means to Me, encourages students to think about culture not only as something they inherit, but also something they live, celebrate, question, and share. It encourages them to consider the people, places, traditions, and values that have shaped their lives, and share those reflections through the arts

To participate, student artists can submit an original artwork in one of these categories:

• Dance Choreography

• Film Production

• Literature

• Music Composition

• Photography

• Visual ArtS
