This week, Congressman Brett Guthrie (KY-02) hosted two events to celebrate and honor the winners of both the 2024 Congressional App Challenge and the 2025 Congressional Art Competition. Both events were held on the campus of Barren County High School.

“I am so proud to see the hard work that our local students put into their submissions for both the Congressional App Challenge and Congressional Art Competitions,” said Congressman Guthrie. “It was an honor to host these extraordinarily talented students, their families, teachers, and friends this week to celebrate their incredible accomplishments. I know that all of these students have bright futures ahead, and I look forward to seeing their continued success in whatever their futures hold. Keep up the great work!"

2024 Congressional App Challenge Awards Ceremony

The Congressional App Challenge allows middle and high school students to compete with peers in their own Congressional District by creating and exhibiting their software applications, or “apps,” for mobile, tablet, or computer devices on a platform of their choice.

It was established by Members of the U.S. House of Representatives in 2015 and is a nationwide competition intended to engage students’ creativity and encourage their participation in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) fields. Eligibility is limited to students currently enrolled in middle or high school and either reside or attend school in the district.

Congratulations to the following students! There were categories for county winners, overall winners, honorable mentions, and a facebook favorite.
