WAUSAU, WI – On May 4, Congressman Tom Tiffany (WI-07) announced the winners of Wisconsin's Seventh District 2023 Congressional Art Competition. The Congressional Art Competition began in 1982 and gives each congressional district the ability to have artwork crafted by young constituents displayed in the U.S. Capitol Building. This year, the theme for the competition was A Day in the Life of Wisconsin, and Congressman Tiffany’s office received seventy submissions across thirteen schools in the district. The winners were selected from a panel of local judges and Rep. Tiffany’s office.
"This year we received a record number of submissions for the Seventh District’s Art Competition, and I was amazed by the young artistic talent throughout the district,” said Congressman Tiffany. "I congratulate each winner on their outstanding artwork and thank all the students who submitted their pieces this year.”
