The annual
competition is held in congressional districts around the country and
is an excellent opportunity for members of Congress to showcase the talent
of the creative high school students in their districts. Since its inception
in 1982, more than 650,000 high school students have participated in approximately
5,000 local contests.
The first-place
winner in each district will have his or her artwork displayed for a year
in the walkway which leads from the U.S. Capitol to the Cannon House Office
Building.
This year's
winning student will be invited to attend a ribbon-cutting ceremony June
25 in Washington, D.C. Photos of the winners with Rep. Collins will be
displayed on Collins' Web site at www.house.gov/maccollins .
