U.S. Rep. Brad Schneider of Deerfield is inviting students who live in the 10th House District to participate in the annual Congressional Art Competition.

Students are encouraged to interpret the theme of "Unity." Pieces will be judged by a panel of local educators and artists.

The event is being held virtually this year because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Submissions can be made at docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScgStOZVAz6DIKo7Md2pYiNPPtT6QN8FIumqkRQiiMtiRbyUg/viewform?vc=0&c=0&w=1&flr=0&gxids=7628.

Work should be submitted as high-resolution, well-lit photos. The submission deadline is 5 p.m. April 16. One piece will be accepted per student.
