Contest Open to Local High School Students
ARK in BEREA – Today Congressman Steve Rothman (D – Fair Lawn) announced
the beginning of the twenty-eighth annual Congressional Art Competition,
“An Artistic Discovery.” The competition is open to high school students

“I am pleased to announce this year’s Congressional student art

talent from the 9th Congressional District and I am looking forward to
see what students have to offer this year.”
