Today (May 6, 2022) is the submission deadline for the 2022 Congressional Art Competition, which puts the artwork of South Dakota students in the US Capitol building.
The contest is open to all South Dakota high school students, and the first-place winning entry will be displayed in the Cannon Tunnel of the United States Capitol for one year. The second-place winning entry will be displayed in Johnson’s Washington, DC, office.
The South Dakota Arts Council is accepting entries on behalf of Representative Dusty Johnson’s office.
The Arts Council will accept only digital submissions. Students should send one email including a high-resolution JPEG image, along with a completed, typed PDF of the student release form to rebecca.cruse@state.sd.us. Winners will be notified by May 9, and will be responsible for shipping their artwork and student release forms to the SDAC offices. The South Dakota Arts Council will have the artwork framed and will ship it to Washington, DC, for the student.
Please review the artwork specifications and guidelines before submitting and download the student release form at https://artscouncil.sd.gov/CAC/index.aspx.
The Congressional Art Competition is sponsored by the U.S. House of Representatives. It’s an opportunity to recognize and encourage the artistic talent in the nation, as well as in each congressional district. The South Dakota Arts Council partners with Johnson’s office to carry out this initiative.
