Each year, the U.S. House of Representatives hosts An Artistic Discovery: Congressional Art Competition for High School Students, which takes place in each congressional district with each first-place winner having their artwork on display in the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., for about one year. Because of his support for young artists in the 4th congressional district of Kansas, Rep. Estes also hosted an art exhibit in the district to display and celebrate the talent of all of the participants. The exhibit and reception also featured the 2020 winners who were unable to have a reception at the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic. This year, the 4th Congressional District had 177 entries from 130 students representing 23 high schools in eight different counties.\n\n\"Each year it's a highlight to see the creativity and skill of young Kansas artists,\" said Rep. Estes. \"I look forward to seeing Hadley's pencil drawing on display in Washington soon and I'm grateful to all of the students who participated in this year's competition.\"\n\nThe winner, Hadley Colquhoun, an Arkansas City High School student, received a cash prize courtesy of Gary and Karma Mason. Second and third place winners also received cash prizes courtesy of Craig and Dalene Nelson and Dave and Janet Murfin, respectively. Eight other students received Honorable Mentions and a People's Choice winner was chosen by \"faves\" in the Flickr gallery.\n\nThe jury consisted of Jim Clements, Oil Painter; Steve Rasmussen, Photographer; and Chloe Gutmann, Exhibitions and Program Director, Mark Arts.\n\n2021 Congressional Art Competition \u2013 Final Results\n\n1st Place \u2013 Hadley Colquhoun, \"2020,\" Pencil, Arkansas City High School\n\n2nd Place \u2013 Rebekah Reed, \"The Gatekeeper,\" Pencil, Wichita Northeast Magnet High School\n\n3rd Place \u2013 Madeleine Albert, \"Insanity, Meet Vulnerability,\" Mixed Media, Wichita Collegiate School\n\nHonorable Mentions:\n\nAyah Al-Tabbal, \"Glow Stick,\" Photograph, Wichita Collegiate School\n\nAmelia Beck, \"Peering into the Soul,\" Mixed Media, Wichita Heights High School\n\nKiyla Davis, \"Annalynn,\" Painting, Campus High School\n\nCamryn DeVore, \"Floral Contrast,\" Painting, Cheney High School\n\nIsiah Edison, \"Earth\u2019s Complexion,\" Colored Pencil, Hesston High School\n\nMara Howes, \"8 Face,\" Acrylic Painting, Wichita East High School\n\nPaola Montejano, \"Afraid,\" Photograph, Wichita East High School\n\nTaylor Sutton, \"Grandma Gertrude,\" Pencil, Flint Hills High School\n\nPeople's Choice (as determined by \"faves\" in the Flickr gallery by 5 p.m. on April 22):\n\nAmelia Beck, \"Peering into the Soul,\" Mixed Media, Wichita Heights High School", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-06-28T00:48:19Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://estes.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=2980"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 2.310427837073803, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
