Each spring, a nation-wide high school art competition is sponsored by the Members of the U.S. House of Representatives.  The Congressional Art Competition began in 1982 and is a unique opportunity to showcase the artistic talents of high school students around the nation and within the 3rd Congressional District. Since its inception, over 650,000 high school students have been involved with this nationwide competition. . The Artistic Discovery Contest is an opportunity to recognize and encourage artistic talent in the nation, as well as in each Congressional District. 

The Congressional Art Competition, sponsored by Congressman McGovern, is open to all high school students in the 3rd Congressional District of Massachusetts. The piece that is judged the overall winner of our District's competition will be displayed for one year in the U.S. Capitol. The exhibit in Washington will also include artwork from other competition winners nation-wide. Two roundtrip airline tickets are provided to the winner and a guest to attend the national reception in Washington DC on June 20^th.

Artwork was due Friday, April 13th. 

Enclosed is an informational packet detailing all guidelines and requirements. I look forward to the participation of your students and meeting you at the reception on April 21. If you have any questions, please contact Kelly Brissette (508)-831-7356.
