State Wide High School

Congressional Art Competition Exhibition

April 13 - 26, 2026

Experience much of the best artwork from Delaware’s High School students (grades 9 - 12) at The Delaware Contemporary. This exhibition is organized by Delaware’s Congresswoman Sarah McBride.

Each spring, a nation-wide high school arts competition is sponsored by the Members of the U.S. House of Representatives. This Artistic Discovery Contest is an opportunity to recognize and encourage the artistic talent in the nation, as well as in our Congressional District.

Delaware consists of one Congressional District, therefore it is an all state competition and exhibition.

All artwork is completed by individual students and are original concepts. Visitors will see paintings, drawings, collages, prints, computer-generated art, photography, and mixed media.

High School students are encouraged to apply. Click here to learn how!
