  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
Damion Scott for earning the Top Mixed Media Award for his creative and 
unique artwork as part of the 2021 Congressional Art Competition.
  As a first-time participant in the art show and a student at 
Westminster High School, Damion created a work of art entitled, 
``Extinction: A Crisis''. This artwork used mixed media including 
watercolor, pen and acrylic, and it depicts the Puerto Rican parrot and 
hibiscus running down the page hinting at their existence while also 
addressing the issue of extinction.
  Damion spent countless hours and used numerous tools to learn new 
techniques and refine his mixed media drawing skills and education in 
the arts. I appreciate his participation in the competition and the 
support provided by his teacher at Westminster High School.
  Congratulations to Damion Scott for his hard work and participation 
in the 2021 Congressional Art Competition. I am certain he will exhibit 
the same dedication and character in his future accomplishments, and I 
wish him the best of luck going forward.
