U.S. Rep. Mike Kelly, R-16th, is reminding residents that April 28 is the submission deadline for the annual Congressional Art Competition.

The competition is a nationwide program that gives high school students the opportunity to showcase their talent in the arts. Winning pieces are displayed in the United States Capitol.

This year the program will be conducted electronically. Winners will be announced in early May. Students and parents seeking information on the program can visit Kelly.house.gov/congressional-art-competition or contact the congressman’s Congressional Art Competition coordinator Mariah Rohan at Mariah.Rohan@mail.house.gov.

“Each year I am amazed by the talented young artists from Pennsylvania’s 16th District, and 2021 will be no different. This program offers Western Pennsylvania students the opportunity to showcase their skills and receive national recognition for their hard work. I encourage anyone with a passion for art to participate,” Kelly said.
