Congressional Art Competition

MAYS LANDING – High school students in New Jersey's 2nd congressional district are invited to enter submissions for the annual Congressional Art Competition, U.S. Rep. Frank LoBiondo announced Tuesday.

The competition is hosted by the U.S. House of Representatives. The winning submission will be displayed for one year in the tunnel connecting the Cannon House Office Building and the U.S. Capitol, which is part of the main tour route of visitors to Capitol Hill. The second and third place submissions will be displayed in the congressman’s Washington, D.C. and Mays Landing offices, respectively.

“I am honored to again host the annual Congressional Art Competition for the aspiring and inspiring artists from South Jersey. In the past there has been a strong showing of originality and ingenuity from young artists in our communities – I look forward to seeing what creativity is brought forth this year,” said LoBiondo. “With the winning piece on display for visitors to the U.S. Capitol, I encourage South Jersey high school students interested in art to participate in the competition.”

All submissions are due to the Congressman’s Mays Landing office by March 30.

Winners will be announced during a reception for all participants and their families April 9 at the Ocean City Music Pier.
