Carter Sr. launched his first Congressional Art Competition open to high school students who live in Louisiana\u2019s Second Congressional District.\n\nInitiated by Members of the U.S. House of Representatives in 1982, the event is a nationwide annual art competition that allows high school students from all fifty states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories to showcase their artistic ability. The winning piece of art from each Congressional district is displayed in an eleven-month exhibit in the Cannon tunnel that leads into the U.S. Capitol and will be featured on The House of Representatives Congressional Art Competition page. This year\u2019s competition is titled \u201cAn Artistic Discovery.\u201d\n\n\u201cSoutheast Louisiana is a hub for art, creativity and culture,\u201d said Congressman Carter. \u201cThis competition gives young artists an opportunity to share their work with a bigger audience. Contests like these are the way we build our next generation of culture bearers. I am thrilled to see the beautiful, insightful creations that young people in the Second Congressional District submit to this competition, and I hope the students are able to achieve some \u2018artistic discovery\u2019 of their own.\u201d\n\nTo enter a piece, LA-02 high school artists must print and fill out the \u201cStudent Information and Release Form,\u201d and securely attach it to the back of the artwork. The release form requires signatures from the student, parent/guardian (if a minor), and an art teacher.
