CONGRESSMAN WILSON ANNOUNCES CONGRESSIONAL ART COMPETITION

On March 25, Congressman Joe Wilson released the following statement encouraging students from South Carolina's Second District to enter the Congressional Art Competition:

"I am grateful to announce that my office is now accepting submissions for the 2021 Congressional Art Competition. I look forward to seeing the amazing examples of the young talent in South Carolina this year, I encourage all High School artists in the Second District to enter."

Each year, members of the U.S. House of Representatives participate in a nation-wide high school arts competition.

This annual competition invites high school students in South Carolina's Second District to submit original works of art for a chance to have the artwork displayed in the United States Capitol for one year. Artwork should represent this year's theme, The Palmetto State: Capturing the Spirit of South Carolina.

All submissions must be delivered to Congressman Wilson's district offices in the Midlands or Aiken-Barnwell by close of business on April 30, 2021.
