	An Artistic Discovery: Congressional High School Art Competition
		An Artistic Discovery is the annual nationwide Congressional High School Art Competition initiated by members of Congress in their respective districts. Since the competition was first founded in 1981 nearly 4,500 local contests have been conducted that have involved more than 650,000 high school students. Each member of Congress brings the overall winning entry from their local district competitions back to Washington, D.C. to be displayed in the corridor leading to the United States Capitol for one year. The contest is open to all high school students in the 22nd Congressional District. Students who are interested in submitting artwork may contact Kati McKeown in the Bakersfield office. The deadline to submit your artwork has been extended from Friday, January 27, 2006 to Friday, February 10, 2006. For more information on the Congressional Art Competition, please e-mail or call Kati McKeown at (661) 327-3611.
