Washington, D.C. – The office of Congressman Tom Cole (OK-04) is now accepting entries for the annual Congressional Art Competition.

Each spring, the Congressional Institute sponsors An Artistic Discovery, a nationwide competition for high school students interested in the arts and looking for an opportunity to showcase their creativity.

The annual contest recognizes and encourages artistic talent of young constituents across the nation, including those living in Oklahoma’s Fourth Congressional District.

The winner’s art work is displayed for one year in the Cannon Tunnel of the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. In addition, the winning prize includes travel to Washington with a guest for a reception and award presentation, courtesy of Southwest Airlines.

The Fourth District winner also becomes eligible to receive a $3,000 per year scholarship to the Savannah College of Art.

All entries are accepted at one of Congressman Cole’s district offices or the Ardmore Chamber of Commerce by 5 p.m. on April 24, 2020. Those locations are listed below:
