Washington, D.C. — Congressman Robert Aderholt (AL-04) today announced his office would begin taking submissions for the 2013 Congressional Art Competition.
“I am pleased to announce we are accepting entries for this year’s 4th
Congressman Robert Aderholt – Alabama District 4 (R)
Congressional District Art Competition,” said Aderholt. “The competition is a great opportunity for high school students in our area to showcase their talents and creativity. Alabama’s artists are among some of the best in the nation, making the decision to pick just one winner a challenging one. I am grateful that this decision is tasked to our wonderful selection committee and I look forward to seeing everyone’s great work later this spring.”
Each year in the spring, Congressman Aderholt serves as Honorary Chairman of “An Artistic Discovery,” a program founded by Congress in 1982 to recognize the creative talents of young Americans. Congressman Aderholt cordially invites all high school students in the Fourth Congressional District (public, private and home school) to be a part of this exciting event. If you would like to participate or know a student that would like to participate, please contact Mrs. Pat Ellis in Congressman Aderholt’s Jasper District Office by Monday April 15, 2013 for guidelines and further information. Mrs. Ellis can be reached at 205-221-2310 or by email atpat.ellis@mail.house.gov.
Following the local competition in Northport, AL on May 3rd, the Best of Show winner will be invited to a national reception and exhibit in Washington D. C. along with winners from across the nation. Besides the Best of Show, there are seven artwork categories with first, second and third place recognition.
