Clymer Girl Wins Art Contest
“Congratulations to Megan on her winning entry in this year’s contest,” said Rep. Tom Reed. “I know our panel of judges had some difficult decisions to make again with this year’s entries which goes to show what high caliber of talent we have in our area. I am proud to have Megan’s photography hang in the Capitol representing our district.”
Each of the original entries from high school students throughout the district were judged by a panel of art professors from Hobart and William Smith Colleges.
Megan’s digital photography titled “One Way” will hang in the Capitol for the entire year of the exhibition. Megan has also been invited to the Capitol to attend a ceremony honoring art winners from each Congressional District in the United States.
“I want to thank all students who submitted artwork this year,” continued Reed. “These entries are impressive and we’re excited to have some of the local artwork displayed in our office. The young talent here in our district amazes me and we will continue participating in the Congressional Art Competition so that our students can have their hard work and efforts recognized at the national level.”
Five other students were also selected to have their artwork displayed in Congressman Reed’s Washington, D.C. office:
· Christian Bigham – Franklinville Central School
· Casey Bledsoe – Newfield High School
· Ian Chan – Lansing High School
· Andrea Dressig – Wellsville High School
· Shelby Hood – Franklinville Central School
The United States House of Representatives sponsors a nationwide high school art competition each year to showcase young talent in each Congressional District. Winning artwork from the 23rd district can be viewed by visiting Reed’s website, www.Reed.house.gov.
