Smucker Announces 2025 Congressional Art Competition Winner
Lancaster—Rep. Lloyd Smucker (PA-11) announced the winner of the 2025 Congressional Art Competition for high school students in Pennsylvania’s 11th Congressional District.
“Congratulations to this year’s Congressional Art Competition winner and thank you to all the students who submitted their incredible work,” said Rep. Smucker. “Once again, the entries showcased a remarkable range of talent and creativity, making this year’s contest especially competitive. I’m deeply impressed by the artistic abilities of students throughout PA-11, and I’m proud to see their work represented in our nation’s capital. I wish Gianna continued success in all her endeavors and thank her for sharing her artistic gift with the many visitors to Washington, D.C.”
The winning entry, American Heritage by Gianna Fasano of Lampeter-Strasburg School District, will have the distinction of representing 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, DC. 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 admire the award-winning artwork from congressional districts across the nation.
The Congressional Art Competition showcases the remarkable 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.
