Congressional Art Competition

What Is Congressional Art Competition?

The Congressional Art Competition is a district-based visual-art competition for high-school students. Entrants contact their representative’s office for participation, local deadlines and required release forms. District winners’ original, two-dimensional artwork is displayed for a year at the U.S. Capitol, subject to size, framing and copyright rules. The official guidance describes the 2026 round; its national intake and awards dates are later steps for winning entries, not a universal student deadline. A 2027 district deadline and participant expenses must be checked locally.
