Reflections encourages students of all ages to:
Unleash creative talents and be inspired
Express themselves imaginatively in their artwork
Experience the fun and joy of making art
Tap into critical-thinking skills to create art inspired by the annual theme
Receive positive recognition for their original works of art.
Categories include:
Dance Choreography
Literature
Photography

The grade divisions include:
Primary (PreK – Grade 2)
Intermediate (Grades 3 – 5)
Middle School (Grades 6 - 8)
High School (Grades 9 – 12)
Special Arts (all student artists with special needs)
All Reflections entries are submitted first to local PTAs/PTSAs where they are recognized and judged in their grade level divisions. PTAs then choose a selection of entries to be judged by local PTA units, which may then be sent on to councils or districts for consideration. The final Reflection entries submitted to Ohio PTA are then judged at the state level and are considered for Award of Excellence (1st), Award of Outstanding Achievement (2nd) and Award of Merit. (3rd). Award of Excellence (1st) entries are then sent on to National PTA to represent Ohio PTA in the final National PTA judging round.
