Reflections

2023-24 Reflections Art Program

This year’s theme is I am Hopeful Because…  Students create and submit original works of art in the categories of dance choreography, film production, literature, music composition, photography, and/or visual arts.  Entries will be judged on three criteria: interpretation of theme, creativity, and technical skills.  Each school will execute their own Reflections Art Contest at the local level and electronically submit the Outstanding Interpretation (1st place) winners to HCC PTA for participation at the county level.

Reflections 2025-26 Theme Contest 

The search is on for the 2025-26 Reflections theme!

Past themes and duplicate submissions will not be considered. The student who submits the winning entry will receive a $100 prize from National PTA.  The 2017-18 Within Reach Reflections theme was submitted by an HCPS student.  Let’s see if we can do it again for the 2025-26 theme!
