Each spring, a nation-wide high school arts competition is sponsored by the Members of the U.S. House of Representatives. The Congressional Art Competition is an opportunity to recognize and encourage the artistic talent in the nation, as well as in our congressional district.

The Congressional Art Competition is open to all high school students in the Fourth District. The over-all winner of our district's competition will be displayed for one year in the U.S. Capitol complex. The exhibit in Washington will also include artwork from other contest winners nation wide.

Now, you too can participate! I need everyone’s help deciding the People’s Choice winner that will be displayed in one of my district offices for the year.

Voting opens April 18th and will continue until noon (MST) on Thursday April 28th. The winner will be announced in the following weekend’s e-newsletter and on my Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages. I am confident that you will all pick a great winner from the vast collection of impressive entries.

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 nation-wide competition.
