Congressional Art Competition is open to high schoolers.

Deadline: mid-April

Calling all high school artists!

The 2023 Congressional Art Competition is now open. This is a wonderful opportunity for young Michiganders to showcase their talent and gain recognition for their work. The contest is open to students in grades 9-12 who reside or attend school in Michigan’s 7th Congressional District.

Representative Elissa Slotkin’s office will be collecting submissions at participating high schools the week of April 17. Entries will then be judged by a volunteer panel. (As of this story release, the exact pick-up date has not been determined for Stockbridge High School.)

The art piece awarded first place will be displayed for one year in the U.S. Capitol. The second place piece will hang in Congresswoman Slotkin’s Washington D.C. office for one year, and the third place piece will be displayed in her Lansing office.
