LaMalfa Accepting Submissions for the 2019 Congressional High School Art Competition

(Richvale, CA) – Congressman Doug LaMalfa (R-Richvale) is accepting submissions for the 2019 Congressional High School Art Competition. The theme for this year's competition is May the Forest be With You: celebrating our renewable resources.

LaMalfa said: "Last year was a difficult one for many impacted by fires in Northern California. While our communities continue to recover and we strive towards improved forest management policies, I'm calling upon the many talented young artists in Northern California to showcase the true natural beauty that we've also been blessed with. Every year, I've been very impressed by the artwork that NorCal high school students submit for this competition, and this year I'm especially proud to announce our theme – May the Forest be With You: celebrating our renewable resources."

The winning entry will be displayed for one year in the United States Capitol as part of a nationwide exhibit dedicated to displaying the talents of young people representing each state. Information regarding the guidelines for the competition can be found here.

All artwork may be submitted by Tuesday, April 30^th to any of Rep. LaMalfa's district offices, listed below.
