Congratulations to the 2008 Art Contest Winners: Hunter Fletcher, Kyle Watson, Soohyn Jang, and Ian Stapleton!

The annual Congressional High School Art Competition brings together the best student artwork from the 32nd Congressional District and across the country. Congressman Pete Sessions supports the 32nd Congressional District's participation in the annual Congressional High School Art Competition. The contest is open to all high school students, and there is a winner from each Congressional district. When the winning artist is chosen, his or her artwork is displayed in the U.S. Capitol. In June, Congress will host a reception in Washington for winners from across the country.
