Rep. Ron Estes (R-Kansas) has announced the annual Congressional Art Competition dates. “Each year talented young artists have the chance to enter their best work in a fun and competitive event,” said Rep. Estes. “About 200 students from across the district enter their artwork in the Congressional Art Competition annually, and it's incredible to see the talent and skills young Kansans bring to life through their creativity. I encourage all high school students in our district to enter and be part of this fun and unique competition. I’m looking forward to once again hosting this event and seeing the work that will represent the Sunflower State in the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C." High school students in Kansas' 4th District may submit up to two art pieces for the competition. The deadline to submit artwork is Tuesday, March 31, 2026. All artwork submissions that meet the competition criteria will be displayed at Mark Arts in Wichita April 10 to May 2, with a reception Saturday, April 21, at 2 p.m. The winning artwork will be framed and shipped to Washington, D.C., to be displayed in the U.S. Capitol for one year along with other winners from around the country. Prizes may be awarded. Students and high school art teachers interested in learning more about the Congressional Art Competition should visit estes.house.gov/art. ### |
