Bonamici Announces 2022 High School Art Competition
WASHINGTON, DC [3/31/22] – Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici (D-OR) is now accepting submissions for the 2022 Congressional Art Competition.
The competition is open to any student in grades 9-12 who lives in or attends school in Oregon's First Congressional District, which includes Washington, Yamhill, Clatsop, and Columbia Counties and part of Multnomah County. A panel of local artists will select the winning student artist, whose artwork will be displayed in the U.S. Capitol for a year. All students who participate in the competition will be invited to a reception with the Congresswoman where the winner will be announced and all submissions will be shown.
"The Congressional Art Competition is a great chance for students to share their talents and have their work on display at the Capitol," saidCongresswoman Suzanne Bonamici. "Each year I'm inspired by the thoughtful and creative pieces submitted by students in NW Oregon. The arts are vitally important and can help us learn, process, and understand different perspectives and experiences. I'm eager to see the pieces students create this year."
Students interested in submitting artwork can find more information here. The deadline for art submissions is April 29, 2022.
