Congressional Art Contest

2008 Art Contest Winner Hanna Jones

I am pleased to announce the 5th Congressional District of Texas is once again participating in the Congressional Art Competition: An Artistic Discovery. This exciting competition provides Members of Congress with the opportunity to showcase the artistic talent of high school students within our districts, thereby acknowledging our nation's gifted young artists.

As in years past, the winning entry from each congressional district will be displayed in a special exhibition located in a corridor of the U.S. Capitol. The winning student and a guest will be invited to attend a special ceremony unveiling the exhibit in Washington, D.C. in July.

The competition is open to all high school students who live in the Fifth District of Texas. Entries must be received by May 2, 2009. If you need any additional information, please contact my Dallas office at (214) 349-9996. Additional art contest guidelines are also available by clicking here.

I look forward to your participation in the competition.
