“Special thanks to Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital-Hamilton, especially President Richard Freeman, Vice President Diane Grillo, and Lakefront Gallery Curator, Sheila Geisler, for graciously hosting us tonight,” Smith said. “And thanks to our art judges, Debbie Jencsik, Jim Inzero & Rich Thompson.” Every year the Congressional Institute sponsors this national high school visual art competition to recognize and foster artistic talent in each congressional district. Since the competition began in 1982, more than 650,000 high school students have participated. Participation in the contest is at the discretion of each Member office. Students submit entries to their Member of Congress’s office, and a panel of district judges select the winners. The Best in Show winners are recognized at an annual awards ceremony in Washington, D.C., and are displayed for one year at the U.S. Capitol. “Although only one artwork will be selected to hang in the U.S. Capitol where it will be seen along with submissions from every participating congressional district in America by nearly a half-million people, each of you are winners,” Smith said.
