Today, Rep. Cindy Axne (IA-03) announced the opening of the submission window for the 2021 High School Congressional Art Competition in Iowa’s Third Congressional District.
High school students throughout the Third District are invited to submit original pieces of art to Rep. Axne’s office.
The final day to submit artwork is April 26, 2021. Winners will be chosen by a panel of judges involved in the arts across central and southwest Iowa.
The first-place winner’s art will be hung in the U.S. Capitol for one year. The exhibit in Washington 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.
Today is the first day students can submit pieces of artwork either online or to the Congresswoman’s district offices in Council Bluffs or Des Moines.
