Representative Mike Garcia (CA-27) announced that his office is now accepting submissions to the annual Congressional Art Competition from high school students in CA-27. The winning artist will have their artwork displayed in the Cannon Tunnel of the U.S. Capitol for one year and be invited to attend the awards ceremony in Washington, D.C.

“I’m pleased to announce the 2024 Congressional Art Competition is officially underway,” said Rep. Garcia. “This year, high school students will submit their artwork inspired by the theme of ‘aviation.’ We have some of the brightest and most talented students in the nation right here in CA-27, and I look forward to seeing their work and welcoming the winning artist to our nation’s capital.”

To enter the contest, students should submit both their two-dimensional artwork and student release form to one of Rep. Garcia’s district offices by April 26th, 2024. The students' artwork should reflect this year’s theme: Aviation.
