About the Congressional App Challenge

The Congressional App Challenge is open to all middle and high school students who live and/or attend school in Georgia’s Sixth Congressional District.

Officially launched by the United States House of Representatives in 2015, this nationwide effort allows students to compete against their peers by creating an application (also known as an “app”) for desktop/PC, web, tablet, mobile, raspberry Pi, or other devices. The competition accepts any programming language: C, C++, Java, JavaScript, Python, Ruby, or "block code".

The results of the challenge will be determined by Rep. McBath and a panel of expert judges. Typically, the judging period takes place in November and winners are announced in December. The winner from each congressional district will be featured on CongressionalAppChallenge.us. The winning app will also be eligible for display in the U.S. Capitol.

For more information, please visit the official Congressional App Challenge website at CongressionalAppChallenge.us, or contact Rep. McBath’s District Office at (470) 773-6330. Eligibility information, important dates, and the official rulebook for the Congressional App Challenge is also available by clicking here. Specific information and submission instructions for the 2025 Congressional Art Competition (CAC) will be coming soon.
