DES MOINES — U.S. Representative Zach Nunn (IA-03) today announced the start of the 2024 Congressional Art Competition. Each year, the U.S. House of Representatives hosts a nation-wide high school art competition with each member showcasing art from their district.
“I can’t wait to showcase the talent of Iowa’s high school students,” said Rep. Nunn. “This is a long-standing tradition that I am proud and honored to take part in. Iowa has so much to offer, and I look forward to seeing all the creativity that Iowa students have to share as they showcase our state, culture, and talent.”
The competition is open to those residing in the Iowa Third Congressional District and currently in high school.
Each artwork submission will be reviewed by a panel of judges and selections will be made for a winner. The winner will have their artwork placed on display at the U.S. Capitol for the next year. The winner will also be flown to Washington, D.C. to attend the official art show opening. In addition, three winning art pieces will be selected to receive the People’s Choice Award and placed on display in Rep. Nunn’s offices.
