“This year’s competition was very special because, for the first time since 2019, we were able to host this year’s participants and their artwork at an art gallery in our beautiful district. Every year I’m blown away by the artistic talent that exists in Georgia’s 11th Congressional District, and this year was no different. The joy and excitement this competition brings to our students, parents, and teachers is inspiring, and I’m proud of this year’s winners and contestants.”
