Rep. Tom McClintock, R-Granite Bay, is looking for high school students in his district to participate in the Congressional Art Competition.  The 2016 theme is American Exceptionalism.

Contest guidelines and release forms are available online. Artwork and student entry forms are due April 1 at 5pm.

A panel of artists and local officials will judge the artwork.

First-place entries from each congressional district will be displayed for one year in the Cannon Tunnel, leading to the U.S. Capitol. Each winning student will be invited, along with one guest, to the unveiling of the exhibit and a reception for all winners in June.
