WASHINGTON, D.C.-U.S. Congressman Tom Cole (OK-4) encourages interested students from Oklahoma's Fourth District to submit their artwork for the Annual Congressional High School Art Competition and National Exhibition, "An Artistic Discovery".  The deadline for entries is April 30th, and all interested students should contact Cole's Norman office.  The winning artwork will be displayed in the hallway of the U.S. Capitol.

"This is an excellent opportunity for high school students to show their talent and abilities as they compete to have their work chosen to be displayed in the United States Capitol," Congressman Cole said.  "Oklahoma's Fourth District is full of talented students, and I look forward to displaying this talent to other members of Congress."

In addition to having their art displayed in the Capitol, the winner will receive roundtrip airfare to Washington, D.C. courtesy of Southwest Airlines for the dedication ceremony of the art work.  The deadline for all entries is April 30, 2007, and all entries must be delivered to one of the following locations by the deadline.  For more information, please contact the Norman Office at 405-329-6500.
