Each spring the U.S. House of Representatives hosts its art competition, called "An Artistic Discovery." The competition is open to amateur artists residing within the 36th Congressional District and currently attending high school.

Submissions can either be of the "fine art" or "photography" category. The overall winner receives a cash prize and trip to Washington, D.C. to witness the summer unveiling of their piece in the U.S. Capitol. Top-finishers also receive cash prizes.
