The time has arrived once again! I am pleased to announce that Congressman Kevin Kiley’s office is participating in this year’s Congressional Art Competition, sponsored by the Congressional Institute, which recognizes the artistic talent of high schoolers across the country. Please see the following link for more information about the competition: https://www.house.gov/content/educate/art_competition/.
As part of the competition, one student winner from each Congressional District will have their artwork displayed at the United States Capitol for one year in addition to a Certificate of Congressional Recognition. They will also be invited, along with one guest, to a reception in Washington D.C. on June 27 (with round-trip airline tickets provided). Student art submissions will be judged by an independent panel.
Please find deadlines for the competition, below:
- Artwork is due for submission at Congressman Kevin Kiley’s District Office (6538 Lonetree Blvd, Suite 200, Rocklin) by April 22. Our business hours are 9am – 5pm Monday through Friday.
