On Tuesday, April 22, Congressman Daniel Webster visited high school campuses to congratulate the winners of his 2014 Congressional Art Competition.
The theme for his competition was “The Natural Beauty of America.” Students could submit photographs, paintings or drawings to exemplify their interpretation of the theme.
While the grand prize winner was Victor Fan from Dr. Phillips High School, junior Lea Warren earned a second place and juniors Darwin Motato and Summer Rosson each received an honorable mention.
Congressman Webster released this statement: “This year, we received an overwhelming amount of quality artwork submitted from our community’s high school students, and celebrated the highest participation rate so far in our annual Congressional Art Competition. The record turnout is a reflection of the emphasis that our Central Florida schools are placing on the arts, and I am pleased to be a part of encouraging the next generation of artistic talent. America is full of natural beauty, and I was honored to encourage our young people to recognize, celebrate, and portray our beautiful country through so many different styles and artistic mediums.”
