The office of U.S. Rep Bruce Westerman, R-District 4, will accept submissions from Fourth Congressional District high school students for the 2015 Congressional Art Competition through Monday.
The Congressional Art Competition, which began in 1982, enables high school students to showcase their artistic ability in the Cannon Tunnel that connects the House office-building complex to the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. Each year, more than three million people view this gallery as they walk through the Cannon Tunnel.
Entries to the Congressional Art Competition should be submitted no later than Monday to Westerman's Fourth District office at 101 Reserve St. Ste. 200, Hot Springs, AR 71901. Entries may be submitted in person from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, or by mail.
Winners will be announced during a reception from 5:30 to 7 p.m. May 5 at the Hot Springs Convention Center. Winners will receive two round-trip tickets to Washington, D.C., where they will attend a ribbon-cutting ceremony and may be eligible for a scholarship to one of the leading colleges in art and design in the United States.
