Walden announces new congressional art contest The Littles’ crossword puzzle U.S. Rep. Greg Walden (R-Hood River) announced today that the 2016 Con- gressional Art Competition is now open to high school students throughout Or- egon’s Second District. This nationwide event is an exciting chance for artistically talented high school students to show- case their talents and have their artwork displayed in the U.S. Capitol where it will be seen by members of Congress and visitors from around the world. A panel of experts, including local artists and art professors, will judge each student’s work and choose the winner and the runners-up. “The Congressional Art Competition is an excellent opportunity to recognize and encourage the artis- tic talent of students in southern, central, and eastern Oregon. And one creative student will have the chance to have his or her work displayed on the national stage,” Walden said. Besides having their art- work displayed in the 2016 national student art exhibit in the Capitol, the winner will receive complimentary round-trip airfare for two to visit Washington, D.C., see the exhibit, and attend a reception in their honor. The runners-up will be recognized locally and have their artwork hung in one of Walden’s of- fi ces in Bend, Medford, La Grande, or Hood River. To enter the contest, students must submit no more than two pieces of artwork and the Student Information & Release Form by April 20, 2016. Please email photos of the artwork (JPEG format), along with the student release form to Kirby Gar- rett at kirby.garrett@mail. house.gov.
