Each spring, Members of Congress sponsor the nationwide Congressional Art Competition to recognize and encourage artistic creativity among high school students. Congressman Gowdy held a ceremony to display the 101 submissions and announce the winners.
“I want to thank all of the participants of this year’s competition,” Rep. Gowdy said. “This is a great opportunity to showcase the talented and creative students in the Fourth District. I especially want to congratulate the winner, Matthew Linn. He will join winners from across the country to be honored at a reception in Washington, and his winning piece ‘Change’ will be on display in the U.S. Capitol for one year.”
