Congressional Art Competition

Each spring, a national high school arts competition is sponsored by the Members of the U.S. House of Representatives. The Congressional Art Competition, An Artistic Discovery, is an opportunity to recognize and encourage the artistic talent in the nation, as well as in each congressional district.

The Congressional Art Competition is open to all high school students. The over-all winner of each participating district will be displayed for one year in the U.S. Capitol.

The Congressional Art Competition began in 1982 to provide an opportunity for members of Congress to encourage and recognize the artistic talents of their young constituents. Since then, over 700,000 high school students have been involved with the nation-wide competition.

Congressman Perry reserves the right to deny artwork that fails to meet the rules and regulations of the Congressional Art Competition. Submissions are due by April 17, 2024, and will be accepted in Congressman Perry’s Cumberland, Dauphin, and York District offices. Please direct any questions to Donna Austin, (717-893-7868 / donna.austin@mail.house.gov). Please complete and submit the Student Release Form provided below.
