A Daleville High School senior is the winner of the 2022 Congressional Art Contest for the Second Congressional District of Alabama.

Autumn Ann Clemmons is the winner of the district-wide competition, Congressman Barry Moore announced March 4.

“The competition was stiff and the judges had a very difficult decision,” he said.

“Autumn is a gifted artist and promising student and it will be an honor to have her artwork represent the Second Congressional District in the U.S. Capitol. I congratulate all the artists who participated in this year’s competition.”

Clemmon’s artwork, titled “Waiting for the results,” is an acrylic painting that reflects the familiar experience that most Americans have shared when having to take a COVID-19 test.

Each Spring since 1982, the Congressional Institute sponsors the Congressional Art Competition for high school students.

The contest is an opportunity for members of Congress to encourage and recognize the artistic talents of their young constituents, Moore said.

Since 1982, more than 650,000 high school students have been involved with the nationwide competition.

Clemmons is also the Daleville High School Future Farmers of America Chapter President.
