Smith Announces 2016 Congressional Art Competition

Congressman Adrian Smith (R-NE) is encouraging high school students in Nebraska’s Third District to submit their artwork for the 2016 Congressional Art Competition by March 15, 2016.

“The Congressional Art Competition is an exciting opportunity to promote the Third District to visitors from around the world through the talents of our young artists,” said Congressman Smith. “I look forward to seeing this year’s entries and showcasing the best of our district in the U.S. Capitol and our congressional offices.”

The Nebraska Art Teachers Association is working with Smith to coordinate the competition. Official rules, guidelines, and submission forms are available online at: www.AdrianSmith.house.gov/ArtCompetition.

The first place artwork will be displayed in the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. Smith will display the runners-up in his Washington, D.C. and Third District offices. The Congressional Institute annually sponsors the Congressional Art Competition for high school students from all fifty states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories.
