"It is truly an honor for a student to have their work exhibited in this location and I encourage all interested students from the First District to submit their work for consideration." The winning entry from the First District will be displayed in the Canon tunnel, while the second and third place entries will be displayed in Congressman Whitfield's Washington, D.C. and Hopkinsville offices, respectively.
