2026 Congressional Art Competition

The U.S. House of Representatives Congressional Arts Caucus coordinates an annual art competition for high school students.  This competition provides a unique opportunity to recognize the rich artistic talents of high school students throughout the nation. This event features two categories (students may submit one piece per category): Photography and All Other Permissible Media.

In addition to the official competition categories, constituents of Ohio’s 8th District may vote for their favorite submission through the Constituent Choice award.

This is a prestigious competition.  The winning artwork will represent Ohio’s 8th District in Washington, D.C., by being displayed in the U.S. Capitol as part of a year-long exhibit.  Other winners’ pieces will be showcased at my Butler County District Office for the next year.
