Congressman Brian Mast (FL-21) celebrated the participants of the 2024 Congressional Art Competition and announced Tetiana Bilokon from Martin County High School as the winner of this year's esteemed award. The selection process, conducted by a panel of distinguished local judges from the Treasure Coast, culminated in Tetiana's outstanding achievement.
“I'm constantly impressed by our youth's brilliance and talent,” said Rep. Mast. “Congratulations to Tetiana Bilokon and thanks to everyone who took part! I'm excited to see your artwork on display in the United States Capitol.”
Tetiana Bilokon’s work will be displayed alongside the winners from each Congressional district nationwide for one year.
The annual Art Competition highlights the artistic abilities of talented students from the 21st congressional district. This year’s competition featured 102 submissions from 13 schools across Martin, St. Lucie, and Palm Beach counties.
Brooke Vanderwarn, a Martin County High School student, was awarded an Honorable mention.
Every year, the Congressional Art Competition honors the exceptional artistic abilities of high school students from across the country. The competition’s goal is to support and promote the arts and to foster creativity and artistic expression among our nation’s youth. The Congressional Art Competition began in 1982, and since that time, more than 700,000 students have taken part.
Congratulations to Tetiana and Bilokon!
