The annual congressional art competition, which brings together the best student artwork from across the Third District, features a $5,000 scholarship per year to the Savannah College of Art and Design as the top prize. In addition to the scholarship, the winning entry will be hung, along with entries from other congressional districts, in a corridor of the U.S. Capitol Building.
To qualify for the competition, public and private high schools in the Third Congressional District are invited to submit artwork to represent their school in this competition. The selection process for that artwork is completely at the discretion of school officials. Each student is limited to two entries. Local schools will be mailed a packet with the complete rules, deadlines, and an entry form. Home school students are encouraged to enter their artwork directly to the office of Congressman John Boozman. All entries must comply with contest rules and guidelines, available upon request.
Entries need to arrive at the Congressman’s Lowell office on or before noon, Friday, May 2, 2008. The winner will be invited to meet with Congressman Boozman at a later date for an awards presentation. The winner will also be invited to attend the opening exhibit in Washington, D.C. with other winners from across the country. For more information on art competition eligibility, contact Kathryn Gough in Boozman’s Lowell office at (479) 725-0400.
