]]> Every Spring, many US congressmen hold art competitions in their home districts.  If your child is good at painting, drawing, photography or most other 2-dimensional forms of art, you should call your US congressman’s office and encourage your child to enter the competition.

The deadline can be different with each Congressman, but it is usually in or before May (could be as early as March).  Call your Congressman’s district office and find out when the deadline is and what the requirements are.

The winner’s art work is displayed at the Capitol for a year.  The congressman usually invite the artist and his or her parents to Washington DC and pay for the airfare.  You should call your Congressman’s office and ask about the detail.

I am posting this article for those who are already into art and has been drawing or painting for some years.  Unless your child is exceptionally talented, it will be difficult make any meaningful progress in a few months.  If your child has been drawing for some time, you should definitely learn more about this competition.  More importantly, encourage your child to enjoy art.
