Congressman Brett Guthrie announced the start of the 2025 Congressional Art Competition for Kentucky’s second congressional district.
“I’m encouraging all high school students, who enjoy creating art, to participate in the 2025 Congressional Art Competition,” Guthrie said in a press release. “Each year I enjoy hosting this competition, and I’m always impressed with the artistic talent of students across Kentucky’s Second District. Thank you to all of our local educators and judges for helping make this year’s Congressional Art Competition possible.”
The artwork of students from Kentucky’s Second District are judged by an independent and local panel of art professors from colleges and universities, the release states. The overall winner’s artwork from Kentucky’s Second District and other districts and territories will be featured in the U.S. Capitol Building.
The second and third place overall winners’ artwork will be displayed in Congressman Guthrie’s Bowling Green District office.
The Congressional Art Competition for Kentucky’s Second District also includes a “Facebook Favorite” competition. All students’ submitted artwork who abide by the rules and regulations will be posted to Congressman Guthrie’s official Facebook page for the public to vote on between April 14-18, for their favorite artwork. The “Facebook Favorite” winner’s artwork will be displayed in Congressman Guthrie’s Bowling Green District office as well.
The winners of the Congressional Art Competition will be announced at the reception hosted by the Congressman in April and the deadline to submit artwork is April 9, which can be shipped or dropped off at Guthrie’s Bowling Green Office.
Each spring, participating members of Congress host the Congressional Art Competition in their respective districts.
