Calling all CT-05 high school artists!

Each spring, a nationwide high school arts competition is sponsored by the U.S. House of Representatives in collaboration with the Congressional Institute. The competition is an opportunity to recognize and encourage artistic talent in the nation, particularly right here in the Fifth Congressional District.

The winning artwork of our district competition will be displayed for one year in the U.S. Capitol as part of an exhibit with winners from around the country. The second-place artwork will be displayed in my Washington D.C. Office, the third place will be displayed for one year at the Mattatuck Museum in Waterbury, CT, and fourth place will be displayed in my District Office.

Submissions can be mailed or dropped off at The Mattatuck Museum in Waterbury.

The deadline for submitting work to be considered for the 2025 Competition is Friday, March 28, 2025, at 5:00 p.m.

For the complete 2025 rules and regulations, student release form, Mattatuck drop off/pick up process, and Mattatuck loan receipt, go to https://hayes.house.gov/art-competition.

All submissions will be on exhibit at the Mattatuck Museum from April 5, 2025 - May 4, 2025. Visitors will be welcome to visit the exhibition.
