U.S. Representative Ed Royce (R-Fullerton) announced Hailey Shi of Diamond Bar High School the winner of his Congressional Art Competition, which received nearly 100 entries from high school students across California's 39th Congressional District:

"The Congressional Art Competition is an opportunity for the talented young people of our community to showcase their creative skills and I'm happy to announce Hailey the winner," said Rep. Royce. "Congratulations to all of the artists that submitted their work for the community to enjoy."

Michelle Guo of Troy High School received second place for her work “The Places We’ll Go,” and Andres Gonzalez of Los Altos High School was recognized with third place for his piece "Boyhood."

Shi, a resident of Walnut, will have her artwork "Flying with Hope" displayed in the United States Capitol alongside winning pieces from each Congressional district across the country. Shi and her family will also join Rep. Royce in Washington for a special reception honoring contest winners.

Rep. Royce also posted photographs of each submission on his Congressional Facebook page and asked his fans to choose their favorite submission for the "Fan Favorite" award, which was received by Connie Mach of Diamond Bar High School for her piece "Track."
