As the Fourth Congressional district winner, Charley will receive two airfare tickets to visit the exhibition and will be eligible for a scholarship, in addition to a Capitol tour.
“Benjamin Logan High School commends Charley, Lauren, and all participants for their outstanding achievements and contributions to the arts community. Their creativity and dedication serve as an inspiration to us all,” district officials said.
