WASHINGTON – Congressman Bill Owens announced today that voting has begun for New Yorkers to choose the winner of his office’s 2012 Congressional Art Competition. New Yorkers can visit http://owens.house.gov or go directly to the website’s voting page https://owensforms.house.gov/Forms/Form/Default.aspx?ID=1957 to choose among four finalists. Voting will be open through Thursday, May 3rd, and the winning artist will be announced the following day. Artwork receiving the most votes will be displayed for one year as part of the national student art exhibition in the United States Capitol Building.
“This competition is a great opportunity for young New York artists to display their artistic gifts before a large national audience,” said Owens. “We have a tremendous amount of talent in the region, and I look forward to seeing a small part of the community displayed for millions in Washington.” A reception will be held Wednesday, June 20th in Washington, D.C., honoring winners of the 2012 Congressional Art Competition.
