Prescott, AZ—Each spring, the U.S. House of Representatives sponsors the Congressional Art Competition, a nationwide high school visual art competition aimed at recognizing and encouraging artistic talent across the nation and within each congressional district.
Congressman Eli Crane (R-AZ) recently presented scholarship awards to winning student artists from Arizona's Second Congressional District in recognition of their hard work and talent. All submitted artwork was displayed at the Phippen Museum in Prescott, where local judges evaluated each piece.
This year's 1st Place winner was Hannah Pryor, a student at Miami High School, for her piece “My Cat.” Hannah will be flown to Washington, DC for an awards banquet and have her award-winning artwork displayed for a year in the U.S. Capitol.
Grayson Edwards, a student from Mingus Union High School, won 2nd Place for his piece "The Professional." Ethan Orr, a student at Trinity Christian School and last year's 1st place winner, secured 3rd Place with "A Stroll in Seoul." Clay Witten, also from Trinity Christian School, received Honorable Mention for "Downtown Prescott."
The People's Choice Award allows the public to vote for their favorite piece of art submitted to the competition from their congressional district. This year’s People's Choice award went to Lydia Minjarez from Mingus Union High School for "Zebra Eye."
