Reflections Search Contest

The ART can’t start without an Annual Theme, and we need your help finding the next Reflections Theme!

 

Thank you to all the students who participated in the annual Reflections Theme Search contest. All submissions will be reviewed by CAPTA’s Reflections Committee, who will forward five themes to National PTA for consideration. From the nationwide search, one exceptional theme will be selected to inspire creativity in Reflections Program participants. The theme will be announced by National PTA in June 2020 and The student who submits the winning entry will receive $100.

The 2022-2023 theme is "I am Hopeful Because..."

The 2025-2026 theme search will be open between September 1, 2023 and 5:00 pm, November 1, 2023. 

Sign up for the California PTA newsletter to be notified as soon as the contest opens.
