SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — U.S. Rep. Kristi Noem wants South Dakota high school students to know they have a chance to have their artwork hung in the U.S. Capitol.

Noem says any high school student in the state is welcome to enter the 2015 Congressional Art Competition. The selected artwork from South Dakota will be displayed in the Cannon Tunnel of the U.S. Capitol for an entire year.

The Congressional Art Competition began in 1982. Each congressional district has one winner. Winners also receive a roundtrip ticket to and from Washington, D.C.

The second-place winning entry from South Dakota will be displayed in Noem’s office in the nation’s capital.

All artwork submissions must be sent to the South Dakota Arts Council by April 27. The winners will be notified April 29.
