Talented, Emerging Artists Called to Submit Work For Hispanic Heritage Month National Art Competition

The Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute (CHCI) is calling all talented, emerging artists to submit their best work for an art competition that will give the winner national exposure and an all-expenses paid trip to Washington, DC for participation in the organization's Hispanic Heritage Month events.

The competition will select a painting that captures this year's Hispanic Heritage Month theme, "CHCI: The Empowerment of a New Generation."

"The artwork should reflect how today's Latino youth are being empowered and making strides in all aspects of society," stated Ingrid M. Durán, President and CEO.

The winning artwork will be converted into commemorative posters and distributed nationally. It also will be featured at CHCI's Issues Conference, Annual Reyes of Comedy Night and Annual Gala, as well as in CHCI's national newsletter, CHCI News, and the gala's commemorative program.

Applications can be downloaded from CHCI's homepage at www.chci.org, or by contacting Camille Rodriguez, CHCI Special Events Coordinator at crodriguez@chci.org or (202) 543-1771, x. 223. The deadline to submit artwork is August 15, 2004.
