Congressman McGarvey is proud to host the 2025 Congressional Art Competition for KY District 3!
The annual bipartisan Congressional Art Competition celebrates the artistic achievements of our nation’s high school students. The winning artwork from each Congressional district hangs in the Cannon Tunnel of the U.S. Capitol for one year. Every day while the U.S. House of Representatives is in session, 441 Representatives and Delegates rush through this tunnel every day to vote on a bill or attend a key committee hearing, while 6,000 staffers take millions of visitors and constituents through the same tunnel annually. For any artist, having a piece of artwork displayed in the U.S. Capitol is a significant achievement.
Kentucky’s Third Congressional District's Art Competition is open to all high school students in District 3 from grades 9-12. Students should participate in the art competition taking place in the district where they reside - not where they attend school. The competition is hosted online, and the public will be invited to vote for their favorite artwork. Two winners will be selected - an overall winner and a community winner. The overall winner will receive two roundtrip tickets to Washington, D.C., to attend the national award ceremony and have their artwork displayed in the Cannon Tunnel of the U.S. Capitol for one year. The community winner will receive prizes including having their artwork displayed in the Louisville office for one year.
