2016 Congressional Art Competition

Each year Members of Congress hold contests within their districts to choose winning pieces of art by high school students. Since this competition was created in 1982, hundreds of thousands of high school students have participated at the local level. The winning student from each district is invited to Washington, DC for the ribbon-cutting ceremony, and will have his or her artwork displayed in the U.S. Capitol for one year.

The artwork must be an origianl piece, be no larger than 28 inches wide by 28 inches tall by 4 inches thick when framed and not weigh more than 15 pounds, including frame. The deadline for submission to either the Mt. Lebanon or Greensburg district offices is April 1, 2016.

If you are interested in learning more about the Congressional Art competition please contact Congressman Murphy’s District office at (412) 344-5583.
