Congressional Art Competition 

All high school students in the 12th District are eligible to compete in the annual nationwide Congressional Art Competition, “An Artistic Discovery.”

Information for the contest is sent to all District 12 high school art teachers in the early spring. Our local exhibition and reception for those students who are participating is held in early May. The winning entries, as well as those who receive recognition for other categories, are announced at the reception.

The first place winner and a guest will attend a ribbon-cutting ceremony and reception in Washington, D.C. in the early summer. The winning entry will hang in the U.S. Capitol tunnel for one year.

The second place piece will hang on display in my Washington office for one year and the third place piece will be on display in my district office for one year.

The 2008 Artistic Discovery Competition winner for the 12th District is Richard Ward of Central High School.
