Sydney Boyd '22 Wins Congressional Art Award
Each spring, the Congressional Institute sponsors a nationwide high school visual art competition to recognize and encourage artistic talent in the nation and in each congressional district. The winner of this year’s Delaware Congressional Art Award is Archmere senior Sydney Boyd. Her photograph, Firefly, was selected from the Scholastics Art Awards Gold Key works to represent the state of Delaware in the Congressional Arts Competition program. Firefly won a Gold Key award in January.
Delaware has only one congressional district and therefore only one work is selected each year. During the virtual awards ceremony debuting on February 12, 2022, Representative Blunt Rochester will recognize Sydney’s award. Representing the state of Delaware, her photograph, Firefly, will be installed in the tunnel of the Capitol building in Washington D.C., on display for a period of one year in the House of Representatives.
Since the Artistic Discovery competition began in 1982, more than 650,000 high school students have participated. Students submit entries to their representative’s office, and panels of district artists select the winning entries. Winners are recognized both in their district and at an annual awards ceremony in Washington, DC.
Sydney's Photography class is taught by Archmere Art Teacher Ms. Jody Hoffman.
