“The Congressional Art Competition is a great opportunity for students from across Georgia’s 11th Congressional District to compete to have their artwork displayed in the U.S. Capitol. The artwork I saw at the Woodstock Library this year was nothing short of incredible, which is no surprise because each of the finalists were excellent students. I want to thank the twelve schools who participated from across the district, and the dozens of students who made this year’s competition one of the best.”

In the 2019 competition, a total of forty-one entries were submitted from twelve schools across Georgia’s 11th Congressional District. The winning artwork was determined by the “People’s Choice” ballot box, which allowed constituents from GA-11 to vote on their favorite piece of artwork on display.
