WASHINGTON – Congressman Greg Gianforte (R-Mont.) recently invited high school students in Montana to participate in the 2020 Congressional Art Competition.
“Through the Congressional Art Competition, Montana’s high school students can showcase their talents. The winner’s artwork will hang in the U.S. Capitol where hundreds of thousands of visitors will see it,” Gianforte said. “I look forward to seeing the submissions for this year’s competition.”
The 2020 Congressional Art Competition is open to all high school students in Montana. Participants must photograph and email their artwork to: montana.art@mail.house.gov. Entries must be received by Friday, April 24. Only one submission per student is allowed.
The winning student will have his or her artwork displayed in the U.S. Capitol for one year. The winner also will receive two free airline tickets to Washington, D.C. to attend the exhibit opening in June.
Each spring, members of the U.S. House of Representatives sponsor a nationwide high school visual art competition. The competition recognizes and encourages artistic talent in the nation as well as in each congressional district.
