Congressman Scott Recognizes Pebblebrook Student Artist

student Akayla Hill was recently named one of the state's top five winners in Congressman David Scott (GA-13)'s 10 annual Congressional High School Art Competition, which awards more than $25,000 in scholarships for the top winners of his tenth annual. 

“This year’s exhibit was extraordinary.  I am so proud of the students who participated and showcased their stunning artwork,” said Scott.  “Our art competition presents an opportunity for our students to have their art professionally displayed and to earn scholarships.  I am honored to recognize our top winners for their exceptional artistic achievements, and I encourage all of this year’s participants to continue to set high goals for themselves.”

Akayla won fourth place for "Self Portrait." She will receive a $1,000 Arts Clayton scholarship and her artwork will hang in Scott’s Jonesboro Office for one year.

In a decade of hosting the Arts Competition, Scott has awarded over $320,000 in scholarships to local students.
