2012 Congressional Art Competition open for entries

UNION COUNTY, IL (KFVS) - Students can now enter the 2012 Congressional Art Competition.

The annual contest for high school students has been held nationwide in each Congressional district since 1982.

Congressman John Shimkus with the 19th District instituted online voting through Facebook last year.

“This is a unique competition, as the entries are limited by geography and the winner gets national exposure,” said Shimkus.  “I encourage all student artists to submit their work.”

The contest is open to high school students who reside in the 19th District or in a school district that includes territory represented by Shimkus. The winning entry from Shimkus’ district will be displayed with others from around the country in the underground tunnel connecting the Cannon House Office Building and the U.S. Capitol.  In addition, the winner will be flown courtesy of Southwest Airlines to Washington, D.C. for a special ceremony.
