Art Competition

Congratulations to Jasmyn Piwko from Nixa High School for winning this year’s Congressional Art Competition with her piece “The Vintage Visit.” This artwork will represent MO-07 in the U.S. Capitol for the next year.

Great work, Jasmyn, and a special thank you to her teacher, Megan Barnes, for helping our young artists thrive. 

Welcome to the 2025 Congressional Art Competition!

Each spring, a nationwide high school art competition is sponsored by the Members of the U.S. House of Representatives. The Artistic Discovery Contest is an opportunity to recognize and to encourage artistic talent in the nation, as well as in our congressional district.

The contest is open to all high school students in our district, and the winning artwork will be displayed for one year in the U.S. Capitol. The exhibit in Washington, D.C. includes the winning artwork from all participating districts from around the country, and winners’ artwork also is featured on the House.gov's Congressional Art Competition page.
