Dear john,
Today, I announced Montana Franke as the winner of the 2024 Congressional Art Competition!
A student at Marion High School, Montana created “Stride of Freedom,” a mixed media artwork depicting a photo of a patriotic parade in front of a historical building right before sunset. The colors of the sky reflect down on the building, along with horses and American flags. The leader of the parade holds his flag high to show his appreciation for our country.
This year, 90 students in Texas’s 28th Congressional District participated in the competition.
Montana's artwork will be displayed in an eleven-month exhibit in the Cannon tunnel that leads into the U.S. Capitol.
I admire her effort and creativity in this competition and know she will represent South Texas very well in Washington.
Congratulations, Montana!
