WASHINGTON, D.C.— Congressman Robert Aderholt (AL-04) recently released a statement calling for entries in the 2016 4th District Art Competition.
“I am pleased once again to be a sponsor of the United States Congressional Art Competition for high school students within the 4th District. This is an annual nationwide event that recognizes and encourages the artistic talent we have in our district. Students in grades 9-12 are encouraged to compete.
“The 2016 Congressional Art Competition award ceremony and reception will be held at Northwest Shoals Community College in Muscle Shoals, Ala. The date for the ceremony is Tuesday, May 3rd at 10:30 a.m. All students participating in the competition, along with their parents and art teachers are invited to attend the reception where refreshments will be served.
“The ‘Best of Show’ artwork will represent Alabama’s 4th Congressional District by being displayed in the U.S. Capitol Complex for an entire year. In addition to having his or her artwork displayed in Washington, the winner will be awarded two round-trip airline tickets and $500 for expenses to attend the National Exhibition Reception in Washington, D.C. this summer.
“High School students wishing to compete should check with their school’s art teacher or administrators. High Schools within the 4th District will be receiving letters with more details. Students who are home-schooled are also eligible to participate. For more information please contact Pam Abernathy in our Gadsden District Office at 256-546-0201 or by email at pam.abernathy@mail.house.gov.
