Art Competition

Each spring, members of the U.S. House of Representatives sponsor a nationwide high school art contest. The Congressional Art competition is an opportunity to encourage artistic talent across the country, including in Maryland's Fourth District!

The Artistic Discovery competition is open to all high school students. Winners from each district will have their work displayed in the U.S. Capitol for one year, as well as featured on the House of Representatives' website. The contest rules, Release Form, and previous winning entries are available on the Congressional Art Competition webpage.

Ready to submit your artwork? Simply enter your information below, then print and sign the Student Information Form at the end. You must include both the Student Information Form and the completed Release Form with your entry.

The deadline to apply is April 11, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. ET. 

To coordinate dropping off your artwork or having it picked up, please call Monica at 202-941-0391, or email iveyrsvp@mail.house.gov.
