The Congressional Art Competition was founded in 1982 by Members of Congress to allow high school students in each of the 435 United States Congressional Districts to showcase their artistic abilities.
A long time tradition, the Congressional Art Competition is a fantastic way for high school students in Northeast Ohio to show the rest of the country the talent they bring to the table. I am eager to see all of the submissions and look forward to hosting the winner in Washington for a ribbon cutting ceremony.
The winner’s piece will hang in the U.S. Capitol and I will look proudly at it every time I enter the Capitol to cast a vote. I hope all high school students in the district will take advantage of this opportunity and put forth a submission to show their talent.
- The winning piece of art will hang in the U.S. Capitol for one year.
- The second place entry will hang in my Washington D.C. office for one year
- The third place piece will hang in my Mentor office for one year.
- The entry that wins fourth place will hang in my Warren office for one year.
Guidelines for students and teachers can be found here.
All submissions must include a completed Student Information & Release form, which can be found here. Please note that the Student Release Form requires the signature of the applicant’s art teacher.
