Calling all high school artists! The 2023 Congressional Art Competition is now open! A wonderful opportunity for young Michiganders to showcase their talent and gain recognition for their work, the contest is open to students in grades 9-12 who reside or attend school in Michigan’s 7th Congressional District.

My office will be collecting submissions at participating high schools the week of April 17, which will then be judged by a volunteer panel. 

The winning submission will be displayed in the U.S. Capitol for one year alongside works from across the country, and its artist will be invited to attend a ceremony in Washington, D.C. later in the summer. The second-place submission will be displayed in my D.C. office for one year, while the third-place submission will be displayed in my Lansing office for one year. 

For more details on the competition – including size criteria, acceptable art forms, and submission instructions – please click the link below. 

Every year, students from across our district impress me with their work and skills, and I love seeing their creativity and emotions shine through their work. I can’t wait to see what this year’s students can create!
