Each spring, a nationwide high school arts competition is sponsored by the Members of the U.S. House of Representatives. The Congressional Art Competition is an opportunity to recognize and encourage artistic talent in the nation, as well as in Idaho's First Congressional District.
The Congressional Art Competition is open to all high school students in Idaho's 1st District. The winning artwork from our district will be displayed in the U.S. Capitol for one year. The exhibit in Washington, D.C. will include the winning artwork from all participating districts in the country. The winning artwork is also featured on the U.S. House of Representatives’ Congressional Art Competition website.
