(Carnegie, PA) Congressman Chris Deluzio announced the winner of his fourth annual Congressional Art Competition. 

The nationwide competition, sponsored each spring by the U.S. House of Representatives, invites high school students to submit artwork representing their congressional districts. 

This year’s first-place winner is Kavinaya Murali, a sophomore at North Allegheny Intermediate High School. 

Murali’s piece, titled Her World of Peace, is an abstract mixed-media portrait and landscape exploring themes of peace, healing and national identity. 

Murali will be honored at an event in Washington, D.C., alongside winners from congressional districts across the country. The artwork will also be displayed for one year in a gallery at the U.S. Capitol.
