U.S. Rep. Barbara Comstock recently announced that a Dominion High School junior, Alena Titova, won the 2015 10th Congressional District Congressional Art Competition.

The ceremony took place May 4 at George Washington University’s Virginia Science & Technology Campus in Ashburn. The competition, open to all high school students who reside in the 10th Congressional District, received 180 pieces of art from every region of the district. An independent five-person panel judged each piece of art.

“It was such a privilege to view the great art produced by the many talented students of Virginia’s 10th Congressional District last night,” Comstock said in a press release. “Alena’s piece is just stunning and incorporates her brother in the piece. I will be bragging about it to my fellow colleagues when I pass it every day in the U.S. Capitol.

“Thank you to all of the students who participated, and I look forward to hanging their artwork in my Capitol Hill, Sterling and Winchester offices,” the congresswoman said. “A special thank you to all of the art teachers and parents whose guidance and encouragement brought this competition to a new level.”
