2025 Congressional Art Competition

CD-2's 2025 Congressional Art Competition

Each spring, the Congressional Institute sponsors the Congressional Art Competition for high school students nationwide. This is a unique opportunity for students in each congressional district in the country to be recognized for their artistic talent. Artwork will be judged on aesthetics, creativity, and relation to Nevada. The winning artist’s work will be displayed in the U.S. Capitol for one year.

This year, submissions for Nevada’s 2nd Congressional District will be accepted electronically at NV02.ArtCompetition@mail.house.gov or can be dropped off at my Reno office at 5310 Kietzke Lane, Suite 103, Reno, NV 89511.

All interested high school students are strongly encouraged to participate. To be considered for selection, submissions must be no larger than 26 inches wide by 26 inches high, by 4inches deep, and must weigh no more than 15 pounds when framed. Submissions must also be two-dimensional and may not violate any U.S. copyright laws. Students must provide their name, address, phone number, email address, and Student Information & Release Form with their submission. They must also include their art title and medium category of the submission.
