The Congressional Art Competition is an annual event that encourages high school students across the nation to showcase their artistic talents; winners have their artwork displayed in the U.S. Capitol for one year as part of a program initiated by members of Congress since 1982.
Passport fairs such as those organized by Rep. Salazar’s office are designed to assist residents with obtaining or renewing passports and provide guidance on related matters without requiring appointments.
