CONGRESSIONAL ART CONTEST WINNERS HONORED
Posted on April 26, 2011
U.S. Rep. Mark Critz is
expected to be on hand when winners of the Congressional Art Competition are
announced April 30 in Manderino Library. The annual arts competition for
high school students is sponsored by the members of the U.S. House of
Representatives. The artwork judged best overall
in each participating Congressional district will be displayed for one year at
the U.S. Capitol Building in Washington, D.C. Open to all U.S. high school students, the competition is an opportunity
to recognize and encourage artistic talent across the nation, as well as within
each congressional district. This year’s theme is “An Artistic Discovery.” 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, more than 650,000 high school students have been involved
with the nationwide competition.
