Rep. Dan Burton Announces the 2010
Congressional Art Competition For Indiana’s 5th District
INDIANAPOLIS, IN - Each spring, a nation-wide school art competition is sponsored by Members of the U.S. House of Representatives. The annual competition, known as Artistic Discovery, is an opportunity to recognize and encourage the artistic talent in the nation and is now open to all high school students in Indiana’s 5th Congressional District, and will continue through May 14, 2010.
Upon opening his Congressional offices for submissions for this year’s competition, Rep. Dan Burton (R-IN) issued the following statement:
“The annual Artistic Discovery Contest is an opportunity that gives well-deserved national recognition to the young artistic talent that exists locally. It’s also an encouraging event for students to get involved in the arts. I look forward to receiving all the submissions from Hoosier high school students in the 5th Congressional District.”
Background, Competition Rules and Information:
The Congressional Art Competition began in 1982 to provide an opportunity for Members of Congress to encourage and recognize the artistic talents of their young constituents. Since then, over 650,000 high school students have been involved with the nationwide competition.
The Artistic Discovery Contest is open to all high school students. The over-all winner of each district will be displayed for one year in the U.S. Capitol. In addition, each winner of this year’s Congressional Art Competition will be awarded two round trip airfare tickets from Indiana to Washington, D.C., courtesy of Southwest Airlines. All entries must be original in concept, design and execution.
