Third Congressional District Art Competition

An Artistic Discovery is a nationwide program coordinated by Members of the United States House of Representatives to recognize the artistic talents of our youth. The nationwide competition involves more than 50,000 talented high school students. In the past, over 200 Members of Congress have participated in the program. Representative Scott has participated every year he has served in Congress.

The first place winning entry for each congressional district will also be displayed in the tunnel to the United States Capitol Building for one year, where it will be seen by thousands of people who visit the Capitol. All students that competed this year are eligible to win additional prizes worth a total value over $3000.
