Kevin Cutler, 18, holds an image of the artwork that won near his school Wednesday, June 11, 2014 in Queens, NY. Kevin Cutler, 18, said U.S. Rep. Gregory Meeks gave him his ticket out of town when he named the Cambria Heights teen this year's district winner of an annual nationwide high school competition -- but he snatched it away just as fast. The coveted award given to one talented teen artist in each congressional district in the country meant Cutler's painting would have been displayed for a year at the U.S. Capitol. But a day before it was due in D.C., Meeks' office told Cutler the painting was "destroyed" and had to be reproduced by morning. Cutler stayed up all night and finished, but he was later told the artwork never made it to the Capitol. (Robert Sabo/New York D
