U.S. Representative Ed Royce (R-Fullerton) will host a Congressional Art Competition Exhibition for the nearly 100 high school students from the 39th Congressional District of California that submitted an entry to the contest. The winner of the contest will be announced at the exhibition and his or her artwork will be displayed in the United States Capitol alongside winning pieces from every Congressional district across the country:

"The Congressional Art Competition is an opportunity for the talented young people of our community to showcase their creative skills and I was delighted to receive a record amount of submissions this year" said Rep. Royce. "I look forward to personally congratulating all of the contest entrants and announcing the contest's winner, whose work will be proudly displayed in our nation's capital."
