Bountiful Elementary students are invited to share their creativity in the 2026–2027 PTA Reflections program, according to a September 12 statement. This year's theme is "What My Culture Means to Me."
The competition allows students to interpret the theme through various creative mediums. Eligible categories include dance choreography, film production, literature, music composition, photography, and visual arts such as 2D and 3D artwork.
Participants are required to include a title and an artist statement written in their own voice. The statement should explain the student's connection to the theme and the creative choices made during the process.
According to the announcement, Utah PTA judges entries based on creativity, technique, and interpretation of the theme, with the greatest emphasis placed on interpretation. The program is free of charge for students of all grades and abilities. Utah PTA also provides an Accessible Arts division to support students with disabilities who may require accommodations.
Entries must be submitted online through the Utah PTA online Reflections system by Tuesday, October 13, 2026. Selected entries may advance from the school level to Council, Region, and State, with state Award of Excellence recipients being eligible for the National PTA competition.
