Representative Randy Weber (R – Friendswood) encourages students in the 14^th Congressional District of Texas to participate in the annual Congressional Art Competition -- An Artistic Discovery. The art competition provides an opportunity for young, artistic talent to be recognized and shared in our Nation’s capital.

In order to participate, students must be residents of the 14^th District and may submit one original entry, no larger than 26” x 26” x 4”, including the frame. Acceptable mediums include paintings, drawings, watercolors, pastels, collages, or prints. The submission deadline for 2017 competition entries is Thursday, April 13.

The winning entry will be displayed in the U.S. Capitol in Washington D.C. for the following year. The art will be displayed among the works of fellow student-artists. Pieces of art that receive honorable mention will be displayed in Representative Weber’s district offices.
