Every year the U.S House of Representatives hosts the high school Artistic Discovery Contest in each congressional district.

This celebrated event highlights the incredible artistic talents of high school students across our country.

The first place winner of each congressional district's competition will be displayed for one year in a special exhibit in the U.S. Capitol.

The winning artwork is also featured on House.gov's Congressional Art Competition page.

There sure is a lot of talent in the 8th Congressional District of Indiana!
