  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
Evita Carrasco for earning the First Place Award for her creative and 
unique digital drawing as part of the 2021 Congressional Art 
Competition. I am thrilled that this artwork will be on display in the 
United States Capitol for one year.
  As a first-time participant in this art show, this student from Wheat 
Ridge High School created a work of art ``A Blinded Goat''. This 
artwork used a digital drawing of a red woman, blue background, lots of 
hands and a goat.
  Evita spent countless hours and used numerous tools to learn new 
techniques and refine her drawing skills and education in the arts. I 
appreciate her participation in the competition and the support 
provided by her teacher at Wheat Ridge High School.
  Congratulations to Carrasco for her hard work and participation in 
the 2021 Congressional Art Competition. I am certain she will exhibit 
the same dedication and character in her future accomplishments, and I 
wish her the best of luck going forward.
