Each spring, the Congressional Institute sponsors a nationwide high school visual art competition to recognize and encourage artistic talent in the nation and in each congressional district. Since the Artistic Discovery competition began in 1982, more than 650,000 high school students have participated.
All high school art students of the 7th Congressional District are cordially invited to participate in our Annual Congressional Art Competition. The top art piece will be eligible to be displayed in the Cannon Tunnel of the United States Capitol building for one year with the artist and a family member invited to the Annual Congressional Art Show reception held in June in Washington, DC. Additionally, the top few pieces will receive a prize.
All entries must meet the following criteria:
- Be two dimensional
- Be no larger than 28 inches wide by 28 inches tall by 4 inches thick when framed
- Not weigh more than 15 pounds, including frame
- Be original in concept, design, and execution and may not violate any U.S. copyright laws.
Additional information will be posted on this page as it gets closer to next spring’s Congressional Art Competition. Below is a general timeline for participants:
