Thank you very much to everyone who entered this year and shared their talents with us. To see all the entries from this year's competition, please visit the 2025 Reflections Gallery page.
Reflections is about creating a work of art based on a theme and coming up with a brief statement about how the theme inspired you to create that work. This year, the theme is "I Belong!". What sort of art can you create? Well, we have categories that cover pretty much everything - Film, Music, Literature, Dance, Photography, and Visual Arts (which covers anything that doesn't fit into the first five categories!). The art must be original for this contest and created entirely by YOU.
Use the links on this site to find out all About Reflections, the Rules for each arts category, and the Important Dates you need to be aware of. Use the form at the bottom of this page to sign up for our mailing list and receive contest updates.
