March 14, 2024

WASHINGTON, DC [3/14/24] – Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici (D-OR) is now accepting submissions for the 2024 Congressional Art Competition.

 

The competition is open to any student in grades 9-12 who lives in Oregon’s First Congressional District, which includes large portions of Washington and Multnomah counties, and all of Tillamook, Clatsop, and Columbia counties. A panel of local arts leaders will select the winning student artist, whose artwork will be displayed in the U.S. Capitol for one 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.

 

“I am always inspired by the creativity and thoughtfulness of the student artists in our community,” said Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici. “I host the Congressional Art Competition each year to provide students with the opportunity to express themselves and share their work in our nation’s Capitol Building for visitors from across the country and world to see. I encourage all high school students who are interested in the arts to participate, and I look forward to seeing the works they create.” 

  

Students interested in submitting artwork can find more information here. The deadline for art submissions is Monday, April 29, 2024 at 5:30 p.m. Art may be mailed to the Beaverton office at 12725 SW Millikan Way, STE 220, Beaverton, OR 97005. Participants may also call 503-469-6010 to arrange an appointment to drop off in-person.
