Each year, students create original works of art inspired by a national theme.
This year’s theme is “I Belong!”, celebrating belonging, identity, and creativity through artistic expression.
Students attending PTA schools sponsoring the program are invited to participate and submit original artwork in one of six categories:
Dance Choreography · Literature · Photography · Film Production · Music Composition · Visual Arts
Submission Deadline: October 20, 2025
Electronic Submissions Only: Take clear photos of physical artwork and attach them digitally.
Anonymity Required: Please do not include children’s names on artwork or file names — entries are judged anonymously.
New This Year: 6th graders will be judged with middle school participants.
