Congresswoman Jennifer McClellan announced today the launch of the 2024 Congressional Art Competition for Virginia’s Fourth Congressional District.
Each spring, the U.S. House of Representatives hosts a nationwide high school art competition to recognize and encourage the artistic talents of students across the nation. The competition is open to all high school students in Virginia’s District 4.
The deadline to submit artwork is by 5 p.m. ET on Monday, April 22, 2024.
“It is my pleasure to announce this year’s Congressional Art Competition for Virginia’s Fourth,” McClellan said. “Each year, this is an exciting opportunity for local students to showcase their creativity and artistic talents. I love seeing local Virginian students’ artwork hanging in the U.S. Capitol as I walk to votes on the House floor. I encourage any interested high school student to participate in this year’s competition.”
The winning artwork will hang in the U.S. Capitol for one year and be featured on McClellan’s social media pages.
