High school art students!
Each spring, the Congressional Institute sponsors The National Art Competition for high school
visual art students, 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.
Students submit entries to their US Congressman.
Winners are recognized both in their district and at
an annual awards ceremony in Washington, DC.
The winning works are displayed for one year at the U.S. Capitol.
Students in the 6th District may submit entries through April 12th to
Congressman Sean Casten’s office.
