Dear [firstname], Each spring, a nationwide high school arts competition is sponsored by the Members of the U.S. House of Representatives. The Congressional Art Competition is an opportunity to recognize and encourage artistic talent across the country. This year my office received 28 submissions from high school students across the 22nd district. While only one winner will be chosen and showcased in the U.S. Capitol, I wanted to showcase all submissions and thank these students for their great work. Please enjoy and vote for your favorite artwork for our "People's Choice" winner here. Voting will close on Thursday, May 9th at 6 pm PT. Thank you to all our talented participants!
