Maloney Invites High School Students to Participate in 2019 Congressional Art Competition
Representative Sean Patrick Maloney (NY-18) is once again inviting high school students to submit their works of art to his office for the 2019 Congressional Art Competition. Winning students will have the honor of displaying their artwork on the grounds of the United States Capitol and will receive an invitation to visit Washington to celebrate their achievement. Rep. Maloney’s office is accepting artwork until April 19, 2019.
“The Hudson Valley is full of talented young artists who make our area proud every year by submitting exemplary works of art – I hope every high school artist will consider submitting their work this year, and I look forward to viewing the submissions.” said Rep. Maloney.
All submissions of student artwork must be framed, and a Student Information and Release Form should be mailed to or dropped off at 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 7 through 12 on one campus. Contestants will compete with other students from the district and the winning student will be recognized at awards ceremonies in the Hudson Valley and in Washington, DC in the Spring.
The grand prize winning artwork will be displayed in the Capitol for one year, and the winning student will receive complimentary airfare or an equivalent prize to use while in Washington, D.C. You can view last year’s art competition entries on Rep. Maloney’s Facebook page.
Entries must be submitted by Friday, April 19, 2019. For further information, contact Paige Banfield by phone at 845-561-1259 or via email at Paige.Banfield@mail.house.gov.
