Congressman Tim Moore announced on Mar. 16 the opening of submissions for the 2026 Congressional Art Competition, inviting high school students from North Carolina’s 14th Congressional District to participate.
The annual competition provides an opportunity for young artists to have their work recognized at a national level. The winning piece from the district will be displayed in the United States Capitol, while second and third place entries will be exhibited in Moore’s Washington, D.C. office.
“The Congressional Art Competition is a special opportunity for students across our district to showcase their creativity and talent,” said Congressman Moore. “As I witnessed in last year’s competition, we have so many gifted young artists in our district, and I encourage every eligible student to take part in this competition. It’s always inspiring to see the perspective our young people bring through their artwork.”
Students must submit their artwork by Friday, April 24, 2026, at 5:00 p.m., and are advised to review all guidelines before submitting their pieces. This year’s theme requires that each submission relate to North Carolina.
Moore has represented North Carolina’s 14th District since winning the general election against Pam Genant with 58.1% of the vote according to election results.
Further details about submission requirements and guidelines can be found on the official competition website.
