Jill Tokuda (HI-02) announced that her office is now accepting submissions for the 2026 Congressional Art Competition. This annual nationwide contest invites high school students from across Hawai\u02bbi\u2019s Second Congressional District to showcase their artistic talents, with this year\u2019s theme titled \u201cReflections of Hawai\u02bbi.\u201d\n\nThe competition provides a unique platform for local students to express what Hawai\u02bbi means to them by reflecting on the past, present, and future of the islands. The first-place artwork from the district will be displayed for one year in the U.S. Capitol\u2019s Cannon Tunnel, a high-traffic corridor used daily by Members of Congress and thousands of visitors from around the world.\n\n\u201cOur keiki have a profound way of capturing the spirit and stories of our islands and people through their art,\u201d said Rep. Jill Tokuda. \u201cWith this year\u2019s theme, \u2018Reflections of Hawai\u02bbi,\u2019 I am eager to see how our young artists interpret our shared history and their vision for our future. This competition is more than just a contest; it is an opportunity to bring aloha to the halls of Congress and share the vibrant culture with the entire nation.\u201d\n\nIn addition to the display at the U.S. Capitol, the winning piece will be featured on House.gov, as well as the Congresswoman\u2019s official website and social media platforms.\n\nThe Congressional Art Competition is now open; a photo of the completed art and completed student release form must be emailed to TokudaHawaiiOffice@mail.house.gov by Wednesday, April 8, 2026, and the physical artwork must be mailed or delivered to the Hawai\u02bbi District Office at 1001 Bishop St., ASB Tower Suite 1503, Honolulu, HI 96813 by Friday, April 10, 2026, no later than 5:00 p.m. HST.\n\nStudents interested in participating should review the 2026 contest rules and download the required student release form.
