Congressional Arts Competition

I would like to congratulate Sean Hicks of Hilliard Darby High School who won First Place at the 2007 Congressional Art Competion for the 15th District, and thank all the art students who participated in this year's event.

Sean's piece, entitled, "Alone at the Top" will be displayed in the U.S. Capitol for one year alongside artwork from other competitions around the country. The winner and two guests will be flown to Washington, D.C. for a gala reception.
