2022 Congressional Art Competition for students

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Representative Mike Garcia (CA-25) announced that his office is now accepting submissions to the annual Congressional Art Competition.

High school students across California’s 25th District are invited to participate in the annual competition. Participants will have a chance to compete to have their artwork displayed in the U.S. Capitol Building where it will be seen by members of Congress and visitors from around the world.

“I am excited to officially kick off the 2022 Congressional Art Competition. This year, students will select the theme that speaks the most to them from two options: Man’s Best Friend or Machines in Motion,” said Garcia. “I was thoroughly impressed with the creative entries we received last year. I look forward to seeing what the creative students from California’s 25th District come up with.”

To enter the contest, students should submit their two-dimensional artwork and the student release form to one of Congressman Garcia’s District Offices by Thursday, April 28th, 2022.

The students' artwork should reflect one of two themes: Man's Best Friend or Machines in Motion.
