TITLE: HUNTERDON NEWS - CONGRESSMAN LEONARD LANCE HOLDING ART CONTEST - YOUR CHILD'S WORK COULD HANG IN THE CAPITOL FOR AN ENTIRE YEAR
Congressman Leonard Lance (NJ-07) today announced that
he will be hosting a congressional art contest for high school students within
the Seventh Congressional District, which includes towns in Hunterdon,
Middlesex, Somerset, and Union counties.
Lance said the winning artwork will hang in a corridor in the United States
Capitol Building for one year along with art from similar art contests held in
congressional districts across the country.
“It is my privilege to host this special Congressional District Arts
Competition,” said Lance. “It’s my hope that artistically talented Seventh
District high school students will consider participating in this unique art
contest.”
The National Congressional Arts competition began in 1982 to provide an
opportunity for members of Congress to encourage and recognize the artistic
talents of their young constituents. Since that time more than 650,000 high
school students have been involved in the competition.
Lance’s art contest is free and open all high school students’ grades 9 thru 12,
who reside in the Seventh Congressional District of New Jersey. All artwork must
be original in concept, design, and execution.
All entries must be submitted to Lance’s Flemington or Westfield district
offices no later than May 5, 2010. Students, who would like to participate,
should contact Brad Myhre in Lance’s Flemington office for further details at
908-788-6900.
Lance noted that last year’s art contest winner was Marta Buda from Watchung.
