Congressman Deluzio Announces 2025 Congressional Art Competition Winner

CARNEGIE, PA - Today, Congressman Chris Deluzio announced the winner of his third annual Congressional Art Competition. Each spring, the House of Representatives sponsors a visual art competition for high school students. Young people from across the nation are invited to showcase their art and highlight their home congressional districts. This year, Congressman Deluzio is serving as the Democratic co-chairof the Congressional Art Competition.

Congressman Chris Deluzio's office received many submissions from talented high school students across Pennsylvania's 17th Congressional District. This year, the first-place prize goes to Carrah Scardina of Natrona Heights, a Senior at Highlands High School. Ms. Scardina's artwork is titled American Beauty. It is a hand-painted fuchsia rose and rose bud on a 100% silk canvas.

"The creative energy of these students is inspiring" said Congressman Deluzio. "I'm grateful to everyone who submitted their work and put their imagination on display for all of us to see. Congratulations to Carrah Scardina and the other 2025 winners of the Congressional Art Competition across the country. I look forward to seeing their art displayed in the Capitol when I'm down in Washington for votes this year!"

"For my painting, I chose the American Beauty Rose, the official flower of our nation's capital. This classic fuchsia rose captures the essence of America, and my passion all in one. This unique medium of silk painting helped me discover more techniques I love in art," said Carrah Scardina. Thank you to Congressman Deluzio for the honor of picking my art to be displayed in the U.S. Capitol-it inspires me to keep creating and exploring my passion for art."

A photo of Ms. Scardina is available herefor use by the press.

This summer, Carrah will be honored at an event in Washington, D.C. alongside the other art competition winners from congressional districts across the country. The student art will be featured in a gallery in the United States Capitol for a full year. This gallery decorates one of the busiest corridors in the U.S. Capitol Complex, giving Members of Congress and visitors from across the nation the chance to enjoy Ms. Scardina's work.
