He invites all high school students in the First Congressional District to submit their original artwork for consideration.
The winner’s artwork will be displayed in the U.S. Capitol Building for one year.
In addition, the winner will be invited to a ceremony in Washington, D.C. this June and will receive three roundtrip airline tickets to Washington from either San Francisco or Oakland.
“Every year I look forward to seeing the creativity and inspiration of the artwork that is submitted from our district,” said Thompson. “Our district’s students are immensely talented, and I encourage all of our high-school aged artists to submit a piece of their work.”
The competition is open to high school students only and each student is allowed a single entry in the competition.
The categories for submission include painting, drawing, collage, prints, mixed media, computer-generated art and photography, and the pieces must be no larger than 30 inches by 30 inches, including the frame.
Submissions must be delivered to Thompson’s office in Napa. Before delivering a submission or to receive more information, please call 707-226-9898.
The deadline for submission is May 1.
The Congressional Art Competition began in 1982, and since then more than 650,000 students have participated.
