Guthrie announces 2025 Congressional Art Competition

WASHINGTON – Rep. Brett Guthrie (KY-02) has announced the beginning of the 2025 Congressional Art Competition for Kentucky’s Second District.

“I’m encouraging all high school students, who enjoy creating art, to participate in the 2025 Congressional Art Competition. Each year I enjoy hosting this competition, and I’m always impressed with the artistic talent of students across Kentucky’s Second District. Thank you to all of our local educators and judges for helping make this year’s Congressional Art Competition possible,” Guthrie said.

Each spring, participating members of Congress host the Congressional Art Competition in their respective districts. According to a release, the artwork of students from Kentucky’s Second District is judged by an independent and local panel of art professors from colleges and universities. The overall winners’ artwork from the second district, as well as other districts, will be featured in the U.S. Capitol Building. The second and third place overall winners’ artwork will be displayed in Guthrie’s Bowling Green District office.

The Congressional Art Competition for Kentucky’s Second District also includes a “Facebook Favorite” competition. All students’ submitted artwork who abide by the rules and regulations (linked here) will be posted to Congressman Guthrie’s official Facebook page for the public to vote on between April 14-18, 2025, for their favorite artwork. The “Facebook Favorite” winner’s artwork will be displayed in Congressman Guthrie’s Bowling Green District office as well.

The winners of the Congressional Art Competition will be announced at the reception hosted by the Congressman in April. Reception details will be provided at a later date.

Students have three options to submit artwork to Congressman Guthrie’s Bowling Green District office by a deadline of April 9, 2025. Artwork can be shipped to or dropped off at Congressman Guthrie’s District office at:
