It is time once again for high school students to submit their artwork for a chance to have it displayed in the U.S. Capitol.
Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-8th) announced Monday the annual Congressional Art Competition. Entries must be submitted by March 25.
“Each year, I look forward to seeing the boundless artistic talent and youth creativity represented in my Congressional Art Competition,” Raskin said. “I encourage all high school students across our district with a passion for visual arts to enter the 2024 competition and share their vision with us. 8th District youth are the future of American art.”
Entries must be submitted digitally via the portal here . The online submission must include a single entry as well as a completed release form. Complete submission guidelines can be found on Congressman Raskin’s website here.
Independent judges from the 8th District will evaluate entries and recommend one first-place winner, whose work will hang in the U.S. Capitol for one year, alongside other winning pieces from Maryland and across the nation.
Some of the other submitted artwork will be displayed at VisArts in Rockville and at Raskin’s Rockville office.
Here are the 2023 entries.
