Maloney Announces 2018 Congressional Art Competition
Invites Students to Compete for Honor of Displaying Artwork in the U.S. Capitol Complex for A Year
Newburgh, NY — Representative Sean Patrick Maloney (NY-18) is again inviting Hudson Valley high school artists to submit their work to his office for the 2018 Congressional Art Competition. Winning students will have their art displayed in the U.S. Capitol Complex for an entire year. Rep. Maloney’s office will accept artwork until April 20,2018. The winning candidate will be announced at an awards ceremony in the Hudson Valley this spring and also honored in Washington, D.C. in June.
“We’ve got a long tradition of talented artists in the Hudson Valley and I really look forward to checking out the work that local students submit,” said Rep. Maloney. “I hope every young artist in the area will consider sending in their work for the competition.”
All submissions of student artwork must be framed, and a Student Information and Release Form should be dropped off to Rep. Maloney’s Newburgh Office located at 123 Grand Street in Newburgh, NY. The competition is open to high school students, but exceptions may be made for schools that have grades 7th through 12th on one campus. Contestants will compete with other students from the district and the winning student will also be recognized at an awards ceremony in Washington, DC in June. The winning piece will be chosen by a panel of local judges in the Hudson Valley. Additionally, all pieces submitted will be posted on Rep. Maloney’s Facebook page for a period of one week starting on April 23rd and the work with the most “likes” will receive a separate award as the social media champion. All participants will be recognized at a reception hosted by Rep. Maloney this spring. All other relevant information can be found on Rep. Maloney’s website.
All entries must be submitted by Friday, April 20, 2018. For further information, contact Maria Ingrassia by phone at 845-561-1259 or email Maria.Ingrassia@mail.house.gov.
