High school students invited to compete in 2011 Congressional art competition
This is from Congressman John Boehner’s office:
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Congressman John Boehner, R-West Chester Twp., on Tuesday, March 15, invited 8th Congressional District high school students to participate in “An Artistic Discovery,” the 2011 congressional art competition. In a web video inviting students to submit their art, Congressman Boehner praised the contest: “This competition provides a unique opportunity for 8th District high school students to share their artistic talents not only with our community, but with the entire country.”
All artwork must be submitted to either Congressman Boehner’s West Chester or Troy District Office by 5 p.m. April 8. An awards ceremony will be held from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. on April 16 at the Troy-Hayner Cultural Center to honor all artists, and their families.
Two first place winners will be chosen — one from the photography entries and the other from all other permissible media. From these two pieces of art, the judges will choose the Grand Prize piece, which will hang in the Capitol for one year, and the First Place piece, which will hang in the Office of the Speaker of the House for one year.
Grand Prize: Artwork will hang in the U.S. Capitol, along with student pieces from around the country, for one year. The Grand Prize Winner will also be awarded two airplane tickets to Washington D.C. for the national reception in mid-June and be eligible for a scholarship to an arts academy.
First Place: Artwork will hang in the Office of the Speaker of the House for one year.
Runners-Up: Artwork will be displayed in Congressman Boehner’s West Chester Twp. or Troy District Office.
In addition, all artwork will be displayed at the Troy-Hayner Cultural Center in Troy from April 13 to April 26.
