“The Congressional Art Competition is always a great opportunity for students across Georgia’s 11th Congressional District to compete for their artwork to be displayed in the U.S. Capitol. All of the artwork entered and displayed this year at the Downtown Gallery was beautiful and unique. The students definitely left the judges a difficult decision to make. I want to thank the all of the schools who participated from across our district, and the many students who made this year’s competition truly remarkable."


In the 2020 competition, a total of 22 entries were submitted from across Georgia’s 11th Congressional District. The winning artwork was determined by a panel of judges chosen by the Downtown Gallery.
