Bowie Teen’s Artwork Wins the 2024 Fifth District Congressional Art Competition

Congressman Steny H. Hoyer (MD-05) announced Lusenie Turay, a junior at Charles Herbert Flowers High School in Prince George’s County, as the winner of the 2024 Fifth District Congressional Art Competition. Turay’s artwork, titled “Regal Musing,” captivated the judges with its portrayal of a boy with amethyst-colored skin and intricate gold markings, created using Procreate software.

Hoyer praised Turay’s dedication and talent, expressing excitement for the piece to be displayed in the Capitol complex this year. Turay, a Sierra Leonean-American from Bowie, Maryland, expressed his honor in representing his culture and community through his art.

The competition, established in 1982, allows Members of Congress to showcase the artistic talents of high school students in their districts. Each year, submissions are evaluated by a panel of local judges, and the winning pieces are displayed in the Capitol for a year.
