Congressional High School Art CompetitionMy office is a proud partipant of "An Artistic Discovery," the annual congressional high school art competition.
The winning artwork is hung in a corridor of the United States Capitol for one year, and the winning student is awarded a $5,000 scholarship to Savannah College of Art and Design in Georgia. The Artistic Honors Scholarship is renewable and is applicable to tuition at the college. Winning students may also submit test scores and/or portfolios for higher scholarship consideration. The winning student and a guest also are invited to attend a special opening exhibition in Washington, DC. The reception is usually in June, and members of the art community are there to meet the winning students from around the country. Previous attendees include Tom Cruise, Dean Cain, Billy Baldwin, Sarah Jessica Parker and Joe Pantoliano. This contest provides an excellent opportunity to recognize the rich artistic talent of high school students. More than 200 congressional offices usually participate in the contest. Any high school student from my district is free to submit an entry to this contest, and you don't have to be in an art class to participate. The competition is open only to high school students, but exceptions can be made for schools that have grades 7-12 in one building. Artwork must be two-dimensional (no masks, sculptures, etc.), no larger than 30 by 30 inches framed, and no more than four inches in depth. The following mediums are accepted: paintings, drawings, collages, prints (lithographs, silk screens, monotypes, woodcuts, and intaglio methods); mixed media; computer graphics; and photography. All artwork must be original. Any entry which has been reproduced from an existing photo, painting, or any other work is a violation of contest rules and will not be permitted. Formal contest rules are typically released each March, and entries are usually due to my office by late April. If you would like more information, please call my district office at 800-447-0529.
