Higgins announced yesterday that Cole Ritter, a senior at Southside High in Youngsville, is the winner of the 2025 Congressional Art Competition for Louisiana’s 3rd District.
Ritter’s piece is titled “La Dame Blanche Du Bayou,” which is translated to The White Lady of the Bayou. The color pencil piece features a white egret that seems to be sitting in bayou water with its reflection showing below it.
The U.S. House of Representatives sponsors an annual art competition for high school students. The Congressional Art Competition began in 1982 to provide an opportunity for Members of Congress to encourage and recognize the artistic talents of their young constituents. Since then, more than 650,000 high school students have been involved in the nationwide competition.
This is Ritter’s second time to display his winning work at the U.S. Capitol.
