Calling all high school artists

Congressman Dan Newhouse announced the start of the annual Central Washington Congressional Art Competition last week, which he called “an excellent opportunity to recognize young artists across the nation.”

Washington’s 4th District’s representative in the nation’s capitol, encouraged “every high school student in our district with an interest in painting, sketching, photography, or a variety of other art techniques to enter,” he said. “Year after year, I am impressed by the talents of Central Washington’s young people, and I know this year will be the same.

In 2019, Meredith Sconce, a ninth-grader at Almira Coulee Hartline High School, won the competition.

All entries must be submitted to one of his district offices by April 30, and artists should call to schedule a drop-off time.

Newhouse’s North District office can be reached at (509) 433-7760.
