Art Competition Deadline Extended

To give more students the opportunity to participate, the deadline for submissions to Congresswoman Betty McCollum’s Congressional Art Competition has been extended to 6:00 p.m. Tuesday, April 19.

There has already been strong interest in this year’s contest, which is open to all high school students either attending school or residing in the Fourth Congressional District. In addition to the display of their artwork in the U.S. Capitol, the winner will receive two free airline tickets to Washington, D. C. to attend the exhibit’s opening. Runners-up will be displayed in Congresswoman McCollum’s offices in St. Paul and in Washington, D. C.

For the first time, all entries will also be display at the Landmark Gallery in the Schmidt Artist Lofts during this year’s St. Paul Art Crawl, held April 22 to 24. Congresswoman McCollum recently discussed that exciting partnership with the City of St. Paul’s Nick Nelson here.

Entries may be mailed or dropped off at the St. Paul office in the Blair Arcade Building and must be received by 6:00 p.m. Tuesday, April 19. The address is:

165 Western Avenue North, Suite 17
Saint Paul, MN 55102

Only one submission per student is allowed. Complete guidelines and forms are available here. Teachers and students are encouraged to contact Liz De La Torre in Congresswoman McCollum's office at 651-224-9191 or Liz.DeLaTorre@mail.house.gov with any questions.
