Congressional Art Competition 2025

Congressman Moskowitz is proud to announce that he will host his third annual Congressional Art Competition this year. Also known as “An Artistic Discovery”, it is an annual 2-D art competition sponsored by the House of Representatives. The competition is immensely popular and enjoys nearly 100% participation across the House of Representatives. The purpose of the competition is to encourage artistic expression and showcase the talents of high school students nationwide. The winning piece from each participating district is displayed for one year in an exhibit located in the Cannon tunnel at the U.S. Capitol.
