Dublin Students Recognized by Congressman McNerney

Submitted by: Congressman Jerry McNerney's office

Congressman Jerry McNerney (CA-11) held an exhibit last night of all of the artwork submitted for the annual Congressional Art Competition. The winners of this year’s competition were revealed at the exhibit at the Elsie May Goodwin Gallery in Stockton.

“Year after year, I have been impressed with the talent and passion of the young artists from our region. This year’s submissions were no exception, and I commend each of the students who participated in the competition.  I look forward to welcoming our first place winner, Amy Kim, to Washington, D.C.,” said Rep. McNerney.

Every year, high school students submit their artwork to be evaluated by four judges. The winner will be flown to Washington, D.C. in June, where she will attend a reception for all of the winners across the country and see her artwork displayed in the Capitol. 

The second place winner’s artwork will be displayed in Congressman McNerney’s Washington, D.C. office, and the third and fourth place winners’ submissions will be displayed in his district offices.
