39th District of California
 

The Congressional Art Competition is a national contest organized once a year to give high school students the opportunity to showcase their artistic abilities. All high school students within California's 39th Congressional District are encouraged to submit their favorite piece of original art to the competition.

The Grand Prize Winner of the competition receives 2 complimentary round trip tickets to Washington, D.C. to see their artwork displayed in the Capitol Building, and is invited to an exclusive reception in their honor. Only one winner will be chosen for each Congressional District.

Bianca Gutierrez of Glen A. Wilson High School won the 2016 Congressional Art Competition with her entry "Doña Agustina." Jennifer Jacobson of Yorba Linda High School received second place for her work “Before Dawn” and Ivy Bi of Glen A. Wilson High School was recognized with third place for her piece "Bear." Via voting through Rep.
