Today, Congresswoman Diana Harshbarger released the details of the 2021 Congressional Art Competition, where East Tennessee high school students (grades 9-12) can enter a competition to have their artwork displayed in the U.S. Capitol Building.
“Each year, our local East Tennessee students get the awesome chance to have their works of art displayed in the U.S. Capitol Building or in my District or Washington, D.C. congressional offices,” said Congresswoman Harshbarger. “I’m excited to see the full creativity and artistic talent of our local high school students representing public, private and home school associations on full display and as entries in the competition this year!”
The contest is open to all high school students in Tennessee’s First Congressional District. The deadline for submissions is Friday, April 23rd.
The winning artwork of our district's competition will be displayed in an exhibit for one year in the U.S. Capitol. The exhibit will include the winning artwork from all participating districts from around the country. The winning artwork is also featured on House.gov's Congressional Art Competition page.
A team of independent judges will be evaluating the entries, including a former winner of the competition.
The participation guidelines, checklist, and the participant release form for the competition can be found on House.gov.
Students who are interested in participating must pre-register before the deadline on Congresswoman Harshbarger’s website here.
