WASHINGTON - Congressman Brad Wenstrup (R-Ohio) invites all high school students in Ohio’s Second District to participate in the 2022 Congressional Art Competition. The competition is an opportunity for students to showcase their artistic abilities and the winning student’s artwork will hang on display in the United States Capitol for one year.

Students may submit their original, two-dimensional artwork via email to annie.cummins@mail.house.gov and a panel of judges will select first place, second place, and third place winners, alongside a "viewer's choice" determined by online voting. The runners-up will have their artwork displayed prominently in one of Congressman Wenstrup’s offices.

Last year’s first place winner from Ohio’s Second Congressional District was Cate Casey. Her piece, "Cincinnati Zoo Animals," is pictured here:

To be considered in the competition, students must reside in Ohio’s Second Congressional District and submit their entries digitally. We request that photos or scans of all entries be submitted digitally, via email, to annie.cummins@mail.house.gov.  Please be sure to submit BOTH an image of the artwork as well as the completed and signed release form.
