Boehner Invites High School Students To
Compete In 2011 Congressional Art Competition
Mar 15, 2011
Washington-Congressman John Boehner (R-West Chester) today invited 8th
Congressional District high school students to participate in “An
Artistic Discovery,” the 2011 congressional art competition.
In a web video inviting students to submit their art, Congressman
Boehner praised the contest: “This competition provides a unique
opportunity for 8th District high school students to share their
artistic talents not only with our community, but with the entire
country.”
Watch the full video of Congressman Boehner at the link below.
All artwork must be submitted to either Congressman Boehner’s West
Chester or Troy District Office by April 8th at 5:00 p.m. An
awards ceremony will be held at the Troy-Hayner Cultural Center on
Saturday, April 16th from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. to honor all artists,
and their families.
Two first place winners will be chosen – one from the photography
entries and the other from all other permissible media. From
these two pieces of art, the judges will choose the Grand Prize piece,
which will hang in the Capitol for one year, and the First Place piece,
which will hang in the Office of the Speaker of the House for one year.
Grand Prize: Artwork will hang in the U.S. Capitol, along with
student pieces from around the country, for one year. The Grand
Prize Winner will also be awarded two airplane tickets to Washington
D.C. for the national reception in mid-June and be eligible for a
scholarship to an arts academy.
First Place: Artwork will hang in the Office of the Speaker of
the House for one year.
Runners-Up: Artwork will be displayed in Congressman Boehner’s
West Chester or Troy District Office.
In addition, all artwork will be displayed at the Troy-Hayner Cultural
Center in Troy, Ohio from April 13th to April 26th.
