About the Art Competition

Each spring, members of the U.S. House of Representatives sponsor a nationwide high school art competition. The Artistic Discovery Contest aims to recognize and encourage artistic talent across the United States. High school students in Texas’ 25th Congressional District can participate in this competition through Congressman Williams’ office.

The winning artwork will be displayed for one year in the Cannon Tunnel of the U.S. Capitol, where millions of visitors will see it. The Washington Exhibit will showcase artwork from all participating districts, and all winning pieces will be featured by state on the House's Congressional Art Competition page.
