Art Competition

2023 THEME: THE ARTISTIC DISCOVERY

Congressman Henry “Hank” Johnson (GA-04) is encouraging 9th – 12th grade high school students, living or attending high school in the district, to submit their art creations as part of this year’s Congressional Art Competition.

“Art can have so many interpretations and cross so many boundaries, while still bringing folks together. This annual competition allows our students to share a piece of their lives with us through their works,” said Rep. Johnson. “Whether it be a message of protest or one of strictly fun and pleasantries; I look forward to what our students will put forth.”

Each year this national competition calls upon high school students of all backgrounds and skill sets to submit their art for the chance to showcase their winning pieces in their congressional district as well as in the U.S. Capitol. Participating students will have an opportunity to win scholarships and other prizes.

There is no required theme to enter the art competition. The submission deadline is Tuesday, April 18, 2023 by 5PM. Please bring your artwork to the district office at: 5240 Snapfinger Park Drive, Decatur, GA 30035 Suite 140. Also please use this link to confirm that Congressman Hank Johnson is your congressional representative: https://www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative.
