U.S. Rep. Greg Steube Announces Winner of 2025 Congressional Art Competition
1st Place Winner, Tammy Ha, holds her piece, “Woven Reflections”.
PORT CHARLOTTE, FL — U.S. Representative Greg Steube (R-Fla.) this week announced Tammy Ha, a 12th grade student at Port Charlotte High School, as the winner of the 2025 Congressional Art Competition for Florida’s 17th Congressional District.
“Tammy’s piece, Woven Reflections, is a remarkable display of skill, thoughtfulness, and artistic vision,” said Rep. Greg Steube. “It will be an honor to have her work represent our district in the halls of the U.S. Capitol for the next year.”
Tammy’s artwork will be displayed in the U.S. Capitol alongside other winning pieces from across the country, viewed by thousands of visitors, staff, and members of Congress.
The 2025 competition saw exceptional submissions from students across the district, including Sophie Davis, a fellow 12th grade student at Port Charlotte High School, who earned second place for her piece, “The Entrance.”
The Congressional Art Competition, organized by the Congressional Institute, celebrates and encourages artistic talent among high school students nationwide. Since its inception in 1982, the competition has provided a platform for over 650,000 students to showcase their creativity and passion for the arts. Winners are recognized both in their district and at an annual awards ceremony in Washington, D.C. The first-place winner is given the opportunity to display their artwork at the United States Capitol for one year.
Rep. Greg Steube extends his gratitude to all the students who participated in this year’s competition and applauds their dedication to the arts. Their contributions enrich the cultural landscape of Florida’s 17th Congressional District and beyond.
