ELANCO student wins art contest

Rep. Lloyd Smucker has announced the winner of the 2024 Congressional Art Competition for high school students in Pennsylvania's 11th Congressional District.

The winning entry, "Reincarnation" by Anastasiia Yakovets of Eastern Lancaster County School District (ELANCO), will represent Pennsylvania's 11th Congressional District in the 43rd annual Congressional Art Exhibition. The artwork will be displayed for one year in the Cannon Tunnel of the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C. The Cannon Tunnel is the most highly traveled access point between the office buildings of the House of Representatives and the U.S. Capitol. Every day, members of Congress, distinguished visitors, and tens of thousands of tourists from the United States and abroad walk through the tunnel and see the award-winning artwork from congressional districts across the nation.

The Congressional Art Competition showcases the artistic talents of students in each Congressional district and across the nation. Since the Congressional Art Competition began in 1982, more than 650,000 high school students have participated.
