Benjamin Logan High School students recently demonstrated their artistic talent at the 2026 Congressional Art Competition, hosted at the Warren G. Harding Presidential Sites in Marion. 

Among the group, Tony Tambaro earned District Second Place (runner-up) for his charcoal piece, Code of Bliss, an impressive achievement in a highly competitive field of student artists from across the region. 

Also representing BLHS were fellow student artists whose pieces were selected for the display: Autumn Cline – Morning Commute (oil painting); Alexa Kelsey – Beautiful Dream (acrylic painting); Landon Braddock – Metal Mane (mixed media – nails); Charley Hardman – Embers of the Gentle Giant (oil pastel).  

The annual competition, hosted by Congressman Jim Jordan’s office, recognizes outstanding high school artists from across Ohio’s Fourth Congressional District. 

The Congressional Art Competition provides students with a unique opportunity to have their work recognized at the district level, with winning pieces advancing to national display.
