U.S. Rep. Dave Joyce (R-OH) invites high school students in Ohio’s 14th congressional district to submit their art work for this year’s Congressional Art Competition.
“The Congressional Art Competition is a great way for Northeast Ohio students to show the rest of the country just how talented they are,” Joyce said. “I look forward to seeing all of the submissions and bringing the winner to Washington for a ribbon-cutting ceremony.”
The Congressional Art Competition was first started in 1982 as a way for students in each congressional district to showcase their artistic abilities.
The winning art piece will hang in the U.S. Capitol for one year and the student with the winning entry will be invited to a ribbon-cutting ceremony and reception in Washington, D.C. in June.
The second-place winning entry will hang in Joyce’s Washington D.C. office for one year.
The third-place piece will hang in his Painesville District office and fourth place in the Twinsburg office, both for one year.
A panel of district artists will select the winning entries.
The deadline line for submitting artwork is May 2. Students can drop off their art in one of two locations: 1 Victoria Place, Room 320, Painesville or Twinsburg Government Center, 10075 Ravenna Road, Twinsburg.
Students are also encouraged to visit joyce.house.gov to fill out appropriate paperwork.
Students and teachers can also contact Maureen Jeffery in the Painesville office for the contest’s rules and guidelines.
