Reflections Update
Ready for some exciting news on this year's Reflections art contest? We are extending the submission deadline to Sunday, October 18th. This gives students three extra days to fine tune entries, and get submissions into the contest.
Remember, this year's theme, "What My Culture Means to Me," leaves room for everyone to participate. Culture presents so many opportunities to think outside the box. For tips on exploring this year's theme, and the Reflections program, check out this helpful info page: A Guide to the PTA Reflections Art Program 2026-2027 & Exploring the Theme: What My Culture Means to Me. Or, feel free to check out our Instagram (@ruhs_ptsa_reflections) for more information on the theme, and how you can participate.
This program is open to all RUHS and Patricia Dreizler Continuation High School students. Additionally, the Accessible Arts Division was created to ensure that all students, including those with disabilities, have an opportunity to share their voice through the arts. All high school students with IEP's or 504's (under IDEA or ADA), are invited to enter the Accessible Arts division.
Entries will be accepted until 11:59 PM, Sunday, October 18, 2026, and students can submit their work and their applications through this link: https://forms.gle/Pm4D3rMyiNWeWFjm9. Students may enter in as many of the above six categories as they would like, but entries are limited to one per category. Please remember that the emails used for this form must be able to receive "external" emails to receive confirmation of their submission. Do not use a student @rbusd.org address to submit entries.
All entries will be blind judged by a collective of creative professionals. This is a wonderful chance for students to get recognition for their artistic efforts, win some prizes, and add some flair to college applications. Students also have the option to have their work featured on the RUHS Reflections Instagram account, and other social channels.
No matter your experience level, if you love creating, we want to see what you’ve made!
