Ms. MANNING. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the winners of the fourth annual Sixth District Congressional Art Competition.

This week, I honored the winners at a reception where we displayed not only the winning artwork, but every submission, which included pieces from Guilford, Rockingham, Caswell, and Forsyth County Schools.

I was amazed by the remarkable artistic talent of these young people from across the Triad.

First, I will recognize the honorable mentions: A piece titled ``Claire'' by Anya and ``Falling Man'' by Violet, both students from Weaver Academy.

Third place was shared by two pieces: ``Fish Light'' by C. Hayden from Penn Griffin School for the Arts in High Point, and ``Smile'' by Quincy from Weaver Academy.

In second place was ``The Beauty of Bodie Island'' by Cate from Northwest Guilford High School.

And claiming the top honor of first place is ``Spectrum'' by Kayden from Weaver Academy.

I am truly proud to represent such talented young students, and I look forward to seeing all their future artistic achievements.
