Representative Steve Knight invites high school students in California’s 25th Congressional District to submit their artwork in the 2016 Congressional Art Competition.

The winner of the competition will have their artwork displayed at the United States Capitol.

The Congressional Art Competition is an annual nation-wide arts competition for high schoolers sponsored by the U.S. House of Representatives.

Students from the Simi, Santa Clarita and Antelope Valleys have until April 29th to submit artwork.

The winner of this year’s competition will receive complimentary airfare to Washington, D.C. for an unveiling ceremony this summer, where the artwork will be featured for an entire year.

“I am thrilled for this opportunity to recognize and encourage the artistic talent in our community and across the nation,” said Knight.

The competition is open to high school students that attend public or private schools, or are homeschooled.

The student must reside in California’s 25th Congressional District and be a U.S. citizen or permanent legal resident.

The winner will be announced on May 4 at a reception held with KHTS Hometown Station at FASTFRAME in Valencia located at 24204 Valencia Boulevard.

“FASTFRAME is again pleased to host the Congressional Art Awards. It’s exciting to see such a vast amount of talent from our young people,” said Randy and Rose-Marie Burzynski, owners of FASTFRAME. “They not only have a great vision but have the ability to express it in several different formats.”
