“I am excited to announce the annual Congressional Art Competition,” said Guthrie. “Every year, I am amazed by the talent of the Second District’s high school students. I look forward to seeing what our young Kentucky artists create this year, and I wish all of the participants the best of luck in this competition.”
All high school art students (grades 9-12) are encouraged to submit artwork for the competition. The first place winners from across the country will receive two tickets to fly to Washington, D.C., to view their artwork on display in the U.S. Capitol and attend a congressional reception in their honor. The winning artwork will hang in the U.S. Capitol for the next year.
All artwork and application materials are due to Guthrie’s Bowling Green office by April 19, 2017. Winners will be announced on April 24, 2017. All artwork will be returned to the students following the competition.
Rules and guidelines are available under the “Constituent Services” section of Guthrie’s website. Faculty or students with questions can also reach out to Congressman Guthrie’s Bowling Green office at 270-842-9896.
