Established in 1982, the Congressional Art Competition celebrates and encourages artistic achievement among high school students on a national scale. Since its founding, the competition has recognized more than 10,000 student artworks, which have been displayed in the Cannon Tunnel of the U.S. Capitol—one of the most traveled corridors in the nation.
Students submit entries to their representative’s office, and panels of district artists select the winning entries. Winners are recognized both in their district and at an annual awards ceremony in Washington, D.C. The winning works are displayed for one year at the U.S. Capitol.
