The annual competition is hosted by the United States House of Representatives to recognize talented young artists from across the nation. The winning student from each district is invited to Washington, D.C. to attend a reception held in their honor and will have his or her artwork displayed in the U.S. Capitol for one year. The deadline for entries to be received is April 21st.\u201cThe vast amount of talent that Iowa\u2019s students display year after year continues to amaze me. The creativity of our talented young artists demonstrates that the arts are thriving in Iowa,\u201d said Loebsack. \u201cFor a young artist, having your artwork displayed in the U.S. Capitol is quite a remarkable accomplishment. I look forward to seeing this year\u2019s entries and meeting the winning student.\u201d Once again, to make the contest as easy as possible and open to as many students as possible, this year\u2019s winner will be chosen by the public through an online vote. Details on how to submit art work are available by clicking here to visit Loebsack\u2019s website. All entries must be received no later than Friday, April, 21st at 5:00pm CDT. The artist of the winning piece will receive two round trip tickets to Washington, D.C. to attend the reception and unveiling of their artwork in the Capitol (all other expenses must be covered by the winner).
