3/2/2023

JONESBORO — Today, Representative Rick Crawford (AR-01) released the guidelines for his annual Congressional Art Competition for high school students (grades 9-12) in the First District of Arkansas. This competition is part of a nationwide high school visual arts competition sponsored by the Congressional Institute. 

Students from the district submit their artwork in one of the competition’s seven medium categories: collage, drawing, digital design, mixed media, painting, photography, and print. Winners are chosen from each category and the overall winner of the competition will be recognized at an annual awards ceremony in Washington, D.C. Their winning artwork will be displayed for one year at the U.S. Capitol and its student artist will receive paid airfare for two to travel to Washington D.C. to attend the ceremony. 

The submission deadline for the competition is April 14th.
