The deadline for the annual Congressional Art Competition is April 12, U.S. Rep. Hudson’s office announced this week.
The competition is open to all high school students of the 8th District.
“Encouraging our young people to excel is one of the most rewarding parts of my job,” Hudson said. “We may have the next Norman Rockwell or Gilbert Stuart among us—I’m honored to play a role in helping nurture and enable our young artists. This is a chance to let the talent of our community shine.”
The theme for this year’s work is an interpretation of the “Heart of Carolina.”

PEMBROKE - Tribal leaders are reviewing a draft bill seeking federal recognition for the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina in hopes of introducing the legislation next month.
Chairman Paul Brooks and several Tribal Council members recently met with U.S. Rep. Richard Hudson of Concord, whose 8th Congressional District is home to most of tribe's 55,000 members.
Hudson, a freshman Republican, has taken the mantle from Democratic Rep. Mike McIntyre, whose 7th District no longer includes parts of Robeson County where the tribe is based.
