                        Wednesday, May 20, 2015

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Nora Trampe upon winning the Congressional Art Competition 
in the 3rd Congressional District of Iowa. Nora, a senior at Roosevelt 
High School, is the daughter of Dr. Kate Garst of Des Moines, Iowa.
  The Congressional Art Competition, ``An Artistic Discovery,'' is open 
to high school students nationwide. Since 1982, the competition has 
been an opportunity for Members of Congress to encourage and recognize 
the artistic talents of their young constituents. The winner is 
selected by a panel of 16 judges, one from each county in Iowa's 3rd 
District.
  Nora's piece, ``100% Awesome,'' was named the winner out of over 75 
entries. It is a unique and creative piece that symbolizes all the 
things that make Iowa such a special place. Nora's creativity and 
dedication to her craft is admirable. The example set by this young 
woman demonstrates the rewards of harnessing one's talents and sharing 
them with the world. ``100% Awesome'' will be displayed in the halls of 
the Capitol for all to admire and enjoy.
  I commend Nora for her artistic talents and I know that my colleagues 
in the United States Congress will join me in congratulating her for 
being chosen as the winner of the Congressional Art Competition in the 
3rd Congressional District of Iowa. It is an honor to serve Iowans like 
Nora and I wish her the best of luck in her future academic and 
artistic endeavors.
