Congressman Bob Goodlatte has announced that he will once again host the Congressional Art Competition for high school students throughout the Sixth Congressional District of Virginia:
“The Congressional Art Competition is a great opportunity for students throughout the region to showcase their artistic talents in a national forum. Each year I am impressed by the skills of young artists in the Sixth Congressional District, and I look forward to reviewing this year’s submissions. It’s an honor to recognize the hard work of a student from the Sixth District by displaying their artwork in the U.S. Capitol. If you know any high school students who may be interested in participating, please pass this information along to them.”
The Congressional Art Competition is open to all high school students who reside in the Sixth Congressional District. The winner of the Sixth District’s competition will be on display for one year in the U.S. Capitol. The deadline for submissions is 5 p.m. on Wednesday, April 22, 2015.
The format for the Sixth District’s Congressional Art Competition is as follows:
· Students or instructors may deliver their artwork in-person to one of Congressman Goodlatte’s Sixth District offices located in Roanoke, Lynchburg, Staunton, and Harrisonburg.
· Students or instructors may also arrange for a member of Congressman Goodlatte’s district staff to pick up the artwork at a designated location.
· Students or instructors may take a digital photograph(s) of the artwork and send it via e-mail to Temple Moore at [email protected].
