Art Competition
Celebrating the 2025 Congressional Art Competition
This year’s Congressional Art Competition was a powerful tribute to our nation’s heroes with the theme "Honor Our Armed Services." Students from across the district submitted incredible works of art that captured the courage, sacrifice, and strength of our military community.
We are proud to congratulate our winner, Emma Kruthoff of Fernandina Beach, whose moving piece captured the hearts of our judges and audience alike. Her artwork, depicting her veteran father's hands holding his military medals—including a Purple Heart- is a deeply personal and impactful tribute that perfectly embodies this year's theme.
Thank you to all the talented student artists who participated and helped make this year’s event truly unforgettable.
