WASHINGTON, DC –
Congressman John Boehner (R-West Chester) today invited 8th
Congressional District high school students to participate in the
2014 Congressional Art Competition, An Artistic Discovery.
“The Congressional Art
Competition gives high school students from our local area an
opportunity to share their work with the whole country,” Boehner
said. “Each year, I am always impressed to see so many talented
young artists in the 8th District, and I’m looking forward to this
year’s competition.”
All artwork must be
submitted to Boehner’s West Chester, Springfield or Troy district
offices by 5:00 p.m. on March 26, 2014. Artwork will be displayed at
the Springfield Museum of Art in Springfield, Ohio, from March 29,
2014, to April 14, 2014.
An awards ceremony will be
held at the Springfield Museum of Art on Saturday, April 5, 2014,
from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.
• The Grand Prize entry
will hang in the U.S. Capitol for one year. The winner will receive
two round-trip plane tickets courtesy of a national airline to attend
an awards ceremony with winners from other congressional districts in
Washington, D.C., in June, and will be eligible for a $3000/year
scholarship to a renowned college of arts and design.
