U.S. Representative Jeff Denham (R-Turlock) recently opened the “Valley Vote” contest, a public component of California’s 10th District Congressional Art Competition. The online voting period will end at Noon PST on Monday, May 8.

The “Valley Vote” is an opportunity for friends and family members of the young artists as well as Central Valley residents to vote for their favorite submission to the 2017 Congressional Art Competition through an online form. The winner of the “Valley Vote” contest, as determined by the submission with the most votes, will be announced at a reception on May 8 honoring all participants and will have their artwork featured in Rep. Denham’s D.C. office. For more information about the “Valley Vote” contest and Congressional Art Competition, visit the website at www.denham.house.gov.
