2025 Congressional Art Competition open for WNC high school students
HENDERSONVILLE, N.C. - U.S. Congressman Chuck Edwards (NC-11) announced today that his office is accepting submissions for the 2025 Congressional Art Competition from high school students living in North Carolina’s 11th district. The winner of the competition will have their artwork displayed in the U.S. Capitol for one year.
“High school students in Western North Carolina are encouraged to showcase their talent, creativity, and passion by participating in the annual Congressional Art Competition,” Edwards said. “After seeing the incredible artwork from WNC’s artists during the previous competitions, I’m eager to see the art that this year’s contestants will create for all the visitors at our nation's Capitol to see.”
Artwork submissions are due to the Hendersonville district office by April 18, 2025. Students can submit their artwork by dropping it off at the Hendersonville district office, shipping it to the district office, or dropping it off at the student’s school.
After the Congressional Art Competition winner is selected by a panel of judges, Congressman Edwards will hold a “Facebook Favorite” competition posted on his official Facebook page, @RepChuckEdwards, for the public to vote for their favorite piece of art.
The “Facebook Favorite” winner’s artwork will be displayed in Edwards’ Washington, D.C. office, and the runner-up’s artwork will be displayed in his Hendersonville office.
