2023 Congressional Art Competition CA-05 Winners

Each spring the Congressional Institute sponsors a nationwide high school visual art competition to recognize and encourage artistic talent in the nation and in each congressional district.

The winning entry from each congressional district across the United States is displayed for one year in the Cannon Tunnel of the U.S. Capitol.

Instead of selecting a specific theme for the 2023 contest, Congressman McClintock was seeking patriotic artwork befitting display in the U.S. Capitol for the 5th Congressional District.
