Art Competition
Announcing Congressman Gerry Connolly’s 2014 Congressional Art Competition
The Annual Congressional Art Competition, An Artistic Discovery, provides Members of Congress with the unique opportunity to showcase the artistic creativity and talent of high school students from across the United States. As your Congressman from the 11th District of Virginia, it is my pleasure to host this competition for residents of this district and to show my support for the fine arts.
This competition is open to all high school students who are legal residents of the 11th Congressional District regardless of where they attend school; public, private and home schooled students are invited to participate and I encourage all who are interested to submit an entry. Due to space limitations, students may not submit more than 2 pieces of art.
To verify that you live in the 11th Congressional District of Virginia, please visit: www.house.gov or call my office at 703-256-3071.
All participants and their families will be invited to a district reception on May 3, 2014 at the Workhouse Arts Center in Lorton, VA at which time I will announce the winning entries. The winning entry will be displayed for one year in the United States Capitol. The artist and his or her family will also be invited to a reception at the U.S. Capitol along with the winners from other Congressional Districts from around the country.
Additional prizes will be awarded at my district reception for the winning entry as well as the 2nd through 5th place entries.
