U.S. Rep. Greg Steube Previews 2025 Congressional Art Competition

SARASOTA — U.S. Representative Greg Steube (R-Fla.) today previewed the 2025 Congressional Art Competition. Each spring, the Congressional Institute sponsors a nationwide high school visual art competition, also known as the Artistic Discovery competition, to recognize and encourage artistic talent in the nation and in each congressional district.

“Every year, Suncoast students have the opportunity to showcase their art with the chance of seeing their masterpiece on display in the U.S. Capitol,” said Rep. Steube. “Within Florida’s 17th District, we are fortunate to have a wealth of exceptionally talented high school artists. I look forward to showcasing their creativity and imagination again with the annual art competition.”

Since the Artistic Discovery competition began in 1982, more than 650,000 high school students have participated. Winners are recognized both in the district and at an annual awards ceremony in Washington, DC. The winner also has the honor of displaying their winning piece for one year at the U.S. Capitol for representatives, staff, and visitors from all over the country to see.

The Office of Congressman Greg Steube will accept artwork submissions from high school students in Florida’s 17th District through April 17, 2025.

For more information regarding guidelines for submissions and rules of the contest, please visit Rep. Steube’s website and the Congressional Institute’s website.
