SOUTH BEND — The two top winners in the annual Second Congressional art competition are from Penn High School and Lakeland Christian Academy.

Congressman Rudy Yakym announced on Saturday that Maci Schultz, a student at Penn High School, is the winner of the 2026 Congressional Art Competition for Indiana’s Second District.

Maci’s winning artwork, “Butterfly in Cone Flowers,” will be displayed in the U.S. Capitol for the next year alongside other winners from across the country.

Second place was awarded to Quinn Clemens, a student at Lakeland Christian Academy. His artwork, “Indiana,” will be displayed in Congressman Yakym’s Mishawaka District Office for the next year.

Yakym congratulated Schultz on Saturday at a reception held at the South Bend International Airport for students who submitted entries and their teachers.

Clemens' artwork, “Indiana,” will be displayed in Congressman Yakym’s Mishawaka District Office for the next year.

The Congressional Art Competition began in 1982 to provide an opportunity for Members of Congress to recognize the artistic talents of high school students in their districts. Since then, hundreds of thousands of high school students have been involved with the nationwide competition.
