The National PTA celebrates 50 years of hosting a Reflections Art Program in which students are invited to participate in an art contest showcasing their expression of choice along the theme of the year.

The final artworks submitted to California State PTA by districts are then considered for Outstanding Interpretation, Awards of Excellence or Awards of Merit. Outstanding Interpretation and Award of Excellence entries then go on to represent California in the final National PTA judging round. |
