The Congressional Art Competition was created in 1982 as a way to showcase the artistic talents of young people throughout the country. To date, Congressman David Scott has awarded over $300,000 in scholarships to local student winners of his annual art competition.
The first place entry from Congressman Scott’s district will join other first place winners from around the country and be displayed in the U.S. Capitol for one year. Scholarships will be presented to the top winners as follows: $10,000 – first place, $5,000 – second place, and $2,500 – third place, all by the Art Institute of Atlanta; as well as $3,000/ year to the first-place winner by the Savannah College of Art and Design.
Entries must be received in either Congressman David Scott's Smyrna or Jonesboro District Office by Wednesday, February 12, 2014. Students may obtain entry forms and official guidelines from Congressman David Scott’s Office and their high school art teachers.
