PTA believes that all children deserve a quality arts education and encourages students to pursue artistic expression through participation in its annual Reflections Program. The program offers students the opportunity to create works of art for fun and recognition. Students in preschool through grade 12 are encouraged to submit works of art in six arts areas: literature, dance choreography, film/video production, musical composition, photography, and the visual arts (which includes, but is not limited to, art forms such as drawing, painting, printmaking, and collage). In its more than 30-year history, the Reflections Program has encouraged millions of students across the nation and in American schools overseas to explore their artistic talents. The Reflections Program was created in 1969 by then Colorado PTA President Mary Lou Anderson.
Each NJ County sets its own deadlines for submission. Please contact your NJ County Reflections Chair for the County deadline date so you can be sure to have your PTA's entries in on time for judging at the county level.NJ Reflections County Contacts.
