EASTVALE– Congressman Ken Calvert is inviting high school students throughout the 42nd Congressional District to participate in the 34th Annual Congressional Art Competition.

“I am always amazed and inspired by the artistic skills of our students,” said Rep. Calvert. “The Congressional Art Competition is a fantastic way to showcase the talents of young Americans from around the country.”

This year marks the thirty-fourth anniversary of the Congressional Art Competition, An Artistic Discovery. Each year, Members of Congress hold contests within their districts to choose winning pieces of art by high school students. The winning student from each district is invited to Washington, DC for the ribbon-cutting ceremony, and will have his or her artwork displayed in the U.S. Capitol for one year.

Only high school students residing in the 42nd Congressional District may enter. All artwork must be original and two-dimensional, and can be no larger than 28” high x 28” wide x 4” deep when framed.  Acceptable categories include: Paintings, Drawings, Collage, Prints, Mixed Media, Computer generated art, and Photography.  The deadline for submission is Thursday, March 27, 2016.
