Langevin announces 2015 high school art competition

Posted

For the 15th consecutive year, U.S. Rep. Jim Langevin (D-RI) is hosting the Rhode Island Second Congressional District High School Art Competition. High school students who reside in the Second District are eligible to compete for a grand prize trip to Washington, D.C., a scholarship offer and the honor of having their work hang in the U.S. Capitol for one year beginning in June.

Every high school-aged student who lives in the Second District can submit one piece of art, which can fall into any of the following seven categories: paintings, drawings, collages, prints, mixed media, computer-generated art and photography. Submission guidelines can be found on Langevin’s website at Langevin.House.gov/

“We have so many passionate young artists in Rhode Island, and I look forward to seeing what they come up with for this year’s competition,” said Langevin, who has hosted an art competition each year since he took office. “We had a record number of submissions last year and I am hoping to attract even more students this time around. The arts are an important part of a well-rounded curriculum and I hope this opportunity helps students to improve their craft.”

Entries will be showcased at an awards ceremony at the Warwick Mall for all participating students, their families, teachers and school officials, on Sunday, April 12.

Participants must submit entries no later than 5 p.m. on Friday, March 27. Artwork will be accepted Monday through Friday, between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., at the Congressman’s District Office at 300 Centerville Road, Suite 200 South, Warwick, RI 02886. Students or art teachers with questions or concerns can contact Johanna Rodriguez via email at Johanna.Rodriguez@mail.house.gov or by phone at 732-9400.
