My office is now accepting submissions through Wednesday, April 1, 2026.
Each spring, the Congressional Institute hosts this nationwide visual art competition to celebrate and inspire young artists across the country. Since it began in 1982, more than 650,000 students have participated.
The winning artwork from our district will be proudly displayed for an entire year in the United States Capitol—a truly unique honor. This competition is a fantastic opportunity to highlight the creativity, passion, and talent of Arizona’s next generation of artists, and I encourage every student with a love for art to participate,” concluded Congressman Gosar.
