Friday is deadline for art competition

    WASHINGTON, DC – Maine students must submit work by this Friday, March 19, to participate in the annual Congressional Art Competition.
    Winners will have the opportunity display their work in the U.S. Capitol for an entire year. They will also be eligible for a scholarship to the Savannah College of Art and Design.
    Work must be submitted in digital format since actual artwork will not be accepted for review. Students must be in grades 9-12.
