Washington, April 1 -- Congressman Rick W. Allen issued the following press release:

Yesterday, Congressman Rick W. Allen (GA-12) recognized the winners of the 2026 Congressional Art Competition during a special reception held at his Augusta office. Members of Congress sponsor this competition each spring, challenging students from across the nation to produce an original artwork depicting life in their home district. This year's competition drew participants from across Georgia's 12th District, whose submissions were scored by a panel of judges.

The first-place winner's artwork will be displayed in the U.S. Capitol for one full year. Other finalists will have their work displayed in one of Congressman Allen's district offices.
