Southwest Washington high school students are invited to compete for a chance to have their artwork displayed in the U.S. Capitol Building in Washington, D.C.
The 2012 Congressional Art Competition is open to all ninth- through 12th-grade students who either live or go to school in the state’s 3rd Congressional District.
Winners from each district will have artwork displayed in the Capitol for a year, and receive free airfare for two to a June ribbon-cutting ceremony.
Students who come in second and third in the 3rd District contest will have their artwork displayed in U.S. Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler’s office throughout the next year.
