Opening Reception: 2023 Congressional Competition

5 p.m.-8 p.m., Friday, May 26, 2023

The event is free and open to the public at SLUMA. Parking will be available in the lot at the intersection of Lindell Boulevard and Spring Avenue.

U.S. Rep. Cori Bush is proud to sponsor the 2023 Congressional Art Competition, honoring the inspiring work created by young artists in Missouri's First Congressional District. Each spring, members of Congress honor high school students from across the country through this visual art competition. Since the competition began, more than 650,000 high school students have participated.

Now in its 23rd year, the Artistic Discovery Contest showcases the talents of area high school students. This year's optional theme is "Show Me You STL." Every student who enters will receive a certificate of recognition and have their artwork featured in an exhibit at the Saint Louis University Museum of Art.

The congressional district team judges all entries and selects one winner and two runners-up, as well as honorable mentions for each medium (photography, painting, drawing, mixed media, and computer-generated art) for the competition. The contest winner receives two round-trip airfare tickets to attend a ceremony in Washington, D.C. The winning entry from each congressional district is displayed in the U.S. Capitol for one year.
