Submissions open

Submission are open for the 2023 Congressional Art Competition.

Jim Banks, a member of the United States House of Representatives, is accepting submissions from high school students in Indiana’s third district, which extends to much of northeastern Indiana.

This year’s theme is “Indiana,” defined in a press release from Banks as “the feeling of Hoosier satisfaction, devotion and attachment to the United States.” He encouraged students to think outside the box when deciding what Indiana means and looks like in their art.

Winning artwork from each district will be displayed for a year in the United States Capitol, and the artist will get two tickets to Washington, D.C., from Southwest Airlines to attend a reception at a later date.

Submissions are due by 5 p.m. April 24 and may be emailed to [email protected], or schools may call the office to arrange entry pickup before the deadline.
