H.S. students encouraged to enter Congressional Art Competition

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Adrian Smith (R-Neb.) invites high school students from across Nebraska’s Third District to submit their artwork for the 2024 Congressional Art Competition by March 22.

“The Congressional Art Competition is an annual opportunity for young Nebraskans to showcase their artistic talents to U.S. Capitol visitors from around the country and world,” Smith said. “I look forward to partnering with the Nebraska Art Teachers Association to review this year’s submissions.”

Smith is working with the Nebraska Art Teachers Association to coordinate the competition. Official rules, guidelines and submission forms are available on Smith’s website: adriansmith.house.gov/services/ art-competition.

First-place artwork will be displayed inside the U.S. Capitol, alongside winning entries from across the country, and Smith will display the runners-up in his Washington, D.C., and Third District offices.

The Congressional Institute annually sponsors the Congressional Art Competition for high school students from all 50 states, the District of Columbia and U.S. territories.
