Students shaping the direction for each Reflections program year is one of National PTA’s greatest points of pride.

Each year, National PTA challenges students from across the country to submit theme ideas for the Reflections program. The student who submits the winning entry receives a cash award, and their theme is used as the foundation of the Reflections program in a following year!

The search is on for the 2025—2026 Reflections Theme!

One theme idea will be selected by National PTA to spark fun and creativity during the 2025—2026 Reflections program. The student who submits the winning entry will receive $100 prize from National PTA.  Entries due October 30. You can apply by submitting a Google form (preferred) or downloading and emailing the form below.  Good luck!
