Reflections Art Competition

2025-2026 Theme: “I Belong”
WHAT IS REFLECTIONS?
The Reflections Art Competition is a National PTA program that starts at the school level. Each year students are invited to create original works of art around a theme. Pieces are evaluated by local artists and art educators.
Top scoring works advance to the district level with the opportunity to advance to the state and even national level of the competition. And yes, we have had Carnation Elementary students compete at the national level!
ART CATEGORIES
All students are invited to submit work on the theme in the art categories of:
Visual Arts - Music Composition - Photograph - Literature - Dance - Film Production
All entries with completed forms are due to the front office by Wednesday, October 17th, 2025. Students can submit in any or all categories (one entry per category, please.) Digital files can be submitted via email to: ceptsareflections@gmail.com.
Please be sure your student’s entry follows the submission rules, paying close attention to size limits and formats accepted. Don’t forget to include the artist statement on the entry form - it is given significant weight in the judges' scoring! Students can submit in any or all categories (one entry per category please.)
