WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Congressman Tom Cole (OK-4) announced today that his office is accepting student artwork for the Annual Congressional Art Competition and National Exhibition, "An Artistic Discovery." High School students from the Fourth District of Oklahoma are welcome to contact Cole's Norman office to get more information. The winning piece of art will be on display for thousands of visitors to view in the Cannon Tunnel of the United States Capitol building in Washington, D.C.

"This art competition is a great opportunity for students in the Fourth District to show off their artistic skills," Congressman Cole said. "I know we have a lot of talented young artists and I'd like to invite them all to submit an entry to my office. The winning art will be put on display for visitors from across the world to see on their way to visit the Capitol building. This is a great opportunity for any young artist."

The winner will have their art work displayed in the Capitol for one year and receive roundtrip airfare to Washington, D.C. courtesy of Southwest Airlines.
