Reflections
Entries due Sept 25, 2026 · Art Showcase & Awards Oct 8, 5–6:00 PM
What is it?
A nationally recognized arts competition that encourages students to explore their creativity and express themselves through original works of art inspired by this year’s theme: “What My Culture Means to Me”
Students may enter one original piece in Visual Arts, Dance Choreography, Literature, Film Production, Music Composition, Photography, or Accessible Arts.
To participate students must fill out this entry form and turn in their physical piece of art to the Raymond Office by Friday, September 25, 2026.
There will be an Awards Show on October 8, 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm in the MPR.
Why it matters
It gives children a safe space to share their voice, build self-confidence, and discover the joy of creating art. It is not about finding the next Picasso. It is about celebrating how a student interprets a theme through their own unique lens.
How You Can Help!
Provide students with the time, space, and encouragement they need to complete their entries at home!
We also need a few volunteers to help with the Awards Show on Oct 8. Specifically with Photography of the event, running audio/video, organizing snacks and drinks, and decorations.
