Jacobs announces return of Congressional Art Competition



Congressman Chris Jacobs announced the Congressional Art Competition for high school students is returning.

“I am pleased to announce the Congressional Art Competition is once again open for NY-27 high school students, “ Jacobs said. “Last year we had some incredible submissions from young artists in our area. I am looking forward to once again showcasing the talent of Western New York.”

The Congressional Art Competition is a national program started over three decades ago as a way to showcase the extraordinary talent in congressional districts across the country. In NY-27 the program is open for any high school students who reside in the district.

Schools and students wishing to participate are urged to reach out to Jacobs’ district office in Clarence (716-634-2324). All artwork must be submitted between Monday, April 11 and Friday, April 15.

First place artwork will be hung in the Capitol for all members and visitors to see. Second place artwork will be hung in Jacob’s Washington, D.C. office. Third place artwork will be hung in Jacobs’ Clarence District Office.
