Congressman Brett Guthrie has launched the 2025 Congressional Art Competition for high school students in Bowling Green. This annual event invites young artists to submit their artwork for the chance to win a spot in the U.S. Capitol Building. Judged by local art professors, prizes include exhibition opportunities and public voting for community favorites. With a deadline of April 9, 2025, this is a unique chance for students to showcase their creativity and gain national recognition.
Bowling Green Students: It’s Time to Show Your Artistic Talent!
Excitement is in the air for young artists in Bowling Green, as Congressman Brett Guthrie has officially kicked off the 2025 Congressional Art Competition for Kentucky’s Second District! This annual event is a fantastic opportunity for high school students who love to create art, whether it’s paintings, drawings, or other forms of visual creativity. If you’ve got a talent for art, this is your moment to shine!
Join the Competition and Make Your Mark!
The competition is not just about showcasing your work; it’s a chance to gain recognition at a national level. Every spring, members of Congress host this competition in their individual districts, and that includes our very own Congressman Guthrie. This year, he’s looking for talented high school students to send in their stunning creations.
So, how does it work? Once all the artwork is submitted, an independent panel of local art professors will step in to judge the pieces. They will evaluate creativity, technique, and overall impact. The artwork deemed the best will win the coveted spot of being displayed in the U.S. Capitol Building alongside other impressive art pieces from different districts across the country. Can you imagine your artwork hanging in such a prestigious place?
Exciting Prizes Await!
But it doesn’t stop there! Students who achieve second and third place will have their artwork exhibited in Congressman Guthrie’s Bowling Green District office. That’s an amazing chance to let even more people admire your work. Plus, recognition is not just for the winners; every entry is a chance to express yourself and share your vision with a wider audience.
What’s New This Year: Facebook Favorite!
In addition to the traditional judging, this year introduces an exciting twist with the “Facebook Favorite” competition! From April 14 to April 18, the community will get to vote on their favorite submitted artwork through Facebook. The piece that receives the most public votes will also find a home in Congressman Guthrie’s Bowling Green District office. It’s a fun way to engage the public and get everyone involved in appreciating the young talent in our area!
Mark Your Calendars: Important Dates!
Mark your calendars—April 9, 2025, is the deadline for all artwork submissions. Students can either ship their masterpieces or drop them off directly at Guthrie’s District office. If you’re juggling school commitments and can’t get to the office, there’s good news! You can easily coordinate with the Congressman’s staff to have your artwork picked up from your school. Just give his district office a call at 270-842-9896, and they will be more than happy to help.
A Celebration of Talent!
The competition doesn’t just end with the submissions. Winners will be celebrated at a special reception hosted by Congressman Guthrie in April. Although details about this event will be announced later, it promises to be a delightful gathering to honor young artists and their outstanding contributions to the world of art.
Don’t Miss Out!
This is your chance, Bowling Green students! Dust off those paint brushes, sharpen those pencils, or whatever tools you use to create, and get ready to show off your skills. The Congressional Art Competition is not just another contest; it’s an opportunity to connect with a wider community, gain recognition for your hard work, and potentially see your name among the stars in Washington, D.C. Get inspired, create boldly, and make sure to get your artwork in by April 9, 2025. Good luck!
