The winning student will receive an invitation to attend a reception and exhibition opening in Washington, D.C. on June 17 where their artwork will be displayed in the Capitol.
“I’m looking forward to viewing the entries of the talented young artists in our community and I wish them all good luck,” said Congressman Posey. “The winning artist will have the distinguished honor of having their work displayed in our nation’s Capitol.” The Congressional Art Competition is open to all public, private, and home school students.
