Congressman Brett Guthrie has announced the commencement of the 2025 Congressional Art Competition for Kentucky’s Second District. The competition is open to high school students with a passion for art.

“I’m encouraging all high school students, who enjoy creating art, to participate in the 2025 Congressional Art Competition. Each year I enjoy hosting this competition, and I’m always impressed with the artistic talent of students across Kentucky’s Second District. Thank you to all of our local educators and judges for helping make this year’s Congressional Art Competition possible,” said Congressman Guthrie.

Every spring, members of Congress host this art competition in their districts. In Kentucky's Second District, an independent panel consisting of local college and university art professors will judge the submissions. The winning artwork from each district will be displayed in the U.S. Capitol Building. Meanwhile, second and third place artworks will be exhibited in Congressman Guthrie’s Bowling Green District office.

This year's event includes a "Facebook Favorite" segment where public voting will occur on Congressman Guthrie's official Facebook page between April 14-18, 2025. All submitted artworks that comply with regulations will be posted online for public voting. The winner in this category will also have their artwork displayed at Congressman Guthrie's district office.

Winners will be revealed at a reception hosted by Congressman Guthrie in April, with further details to follow.

Students wishing to participate must submit their artwork by April 9, 2025. Submissions can be sent or delivered to Congressman Guthrie's Bowling Green District office at:
