PRINCETON, NJ Restaurant Dining Guide Announcement

2011 Congressional Art Competition Announced/Sponsored by Leonard Lance

It is my privilege to announce the 2011 Congressional Art Competition. The competition is open to all high school students in grades 9-12 who reside in New Jersey’s Seventh Congressional District.

Each spring, two members of the U.S. House of Representatives sponsor the national high school arts competition.  I was asked and proudly volunteered to serve as one of the bipartisan co-Chairs for this year's Congressional Art Competition.

The Congressional Art Competition began in 1982 to provide an opportunity for members of Congress to encourage and recognize the artistic talents of their young constituents. The Congressional Art Competition is an opportunity to recognize and encourage the artistic talent in the nation, as well as in each congressional district.

All artwork must be original in concept, design, and execution. For more information and guidelines, please visit https://www.house.gov/house/ArtGuidelines.shtml.  Students can click here to complete an application.  Applications can be faxed to 908-788-2869.

All artwork must be submitted no later than April 21, 2011 to one of my two district offices: 425 North Avenue East in Westfield or 23 Royal Road in Flemington.

Winners will be announced on Saturday, April 30, 2011 at a special ceremony held at Merck located at 2015 Galloping Hill Road in Kenilworth. The overall winning artwork will be displayed in the U.S. Capitol for one year with other winners from across the country.

Students interested in participating in the 2011 Congressional Art Competition should contact Brad Myhre for further details at 908-788-6900 or brad.myhre@mail.house.gov.

Best personal wishes.

Sincerely,

Leonard Lance
Member of Congress
