    2018 CONGRESSIONAL ART COMPETITION

    Are you a high school student interested in showcasing your artwork? The Congressional Art Competition is a wonderful opportunity to showcase the incredible talent in the Twelfth Congressional District. 

    “The Congressional Art Competition is a wonderful opportunity to showcase the incredible talent of students from Western Pennsylvania,” said Rothfus.  “Last year’s entries demonstrated the creativity and originality of our young artists.  I encourage all high school students to submit their favorite work, and I look forward to hanging the winning piece for all to appreciate in the Capitol building.”

    The winning work of art will be chosen by a panel of local judges and will be displayed in the Cannon Tunnel leading to the Capitol for eleven months.  The winner and a guest will be invited to a reception at the Capitol Visitor Center in Washington, D.C.  In addition, there is the opportunity for a $3000 Savannah College of Art and Design Scholarship.

    WHAT I SEE FOR THE FUTURE…
