Each spring, a nation-wide high school arts competition is sponsored by the Members of the U.S. House of Representatives as an opportunity to recognize and encourage the artistic talent in the nation, as well as in our congressional district.
The Congressional Art Competition was created in 1982, and hundreds of thousands of high school students have participated throughout the years. One winner is chosen from each participating district, and the winner’s artwork is then sent to Washington, D.C. for display in the U.S. Capitol. Each winner also receives a roundtrip ticket to Washington, D.C. compliments of Southwest Airlines.
Entries for this year's competition are no longer being accepted.
For any additional questions or to obtain a copy of the guidelines and student release forms, please visit the official Congressional Art Competition Website or contact Jen White in Rep. Davis’ office at 217.403.4690 or jen.white@mail.house.gov.
