High school students throughout Washington’s Fifth Congressional District are invited to participate in the 33rd Annual Congressional Art Competition. The contest began in 1982.

“I’m always impressed by the creativity among students in Eastern Washington, and that’s why I am excited to announce this year’s Congressional Art Competition," Congresswoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers stated in a press release.

"Since 1982, young people from across the country have had the opportunity to display their art inside the United States Capitol – and this year is no different. Eastern Washington’s winner will display his or her piece of art for the thousands of visitors who come to our nation’s Capitol, and three runners-up will have the chance to display their entries in my Spokane, Colville and Walla Walla offices. I look forward to seeing this year’s entries,” said McMorris Rodgers.

The deadline for submission is April 23. For information go to: McMorrisRodgers.house.gov or call Jessie Laughery at (509) 353-2374.
