INTERNATIONAL AVIATION ART CONTEST
Since 1989 the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI) has sponsored the International Aviation Art Contest to challenge young people to illustrate the importance of aviation through art. Demonstrating the impact of aeronautics through an interactive, fun medium such as art motivates youth of all ages to become more familiar with aeronautics, engineering and science. The U.S. portion of the contest is sanctioned by the National Aeronautic Association (NAA), managed by the NASAO Center for Aviation Research and Education and sponsored by Embry-Riddle Aeronautic University - Prescott, Ken Cook Co., the Federal Aviation Administration, and the National Coalition for Aviation and Space Education with additional support from NASAO members.
Children between the ages of 6 and 17 may participate. Entries will be judged in three classes, according to age and at least in part for its creative use of the theme in relation to the aviation world. Each FAI member country sponsors the contest in their country, and submits national winners to the International Jury each year. Learn more about the 2013 U.S. International Aviation Art Contest.
PAST THEMES AND WINNERS
2013 INTERNATIONAL AVIATION ART CONTEST
DEADLINE
All artwork for the state competition must be postmarked by Monday, January 28, 2013.
THEME - "My Favorite Air Sport"
The Federation Aeronautique Internationale (FAI) was established in 1905 to promote Air Sports. Since that time, many new categories of Air Sports have been added to the list of competitions as they were developed around the world. Currently there are eleven categories of Air Sports competitions:
• Aerobatics
• Aeromodelling
• Amateur Built and Experimental Aircraft
• Astronautic Records
• Ballooning
• General Aviation
• Gliding
• Hang Gliding and Paragliding
• Microlight and Paramotor
• Parachuting
• Rotorcraft
Research each of the Air Sports listed above and pick out the one that you would most like to try out. Which Air Sport will you choose?
Think about what it would be like to fly upside down or cartwheel across the sky in an aerobatic plane. Perhaps you would enjoy building a model plane or even a real one! Would you like to pilot a balloon, a plane, a helicopter, a glider, or even a space ship? Where will they take you and what would you see? Imagine launching off the side of a hill or mountain, suspended below a hang glider or a paraglider, and silently gliding to earth. If you wish to take off from level ground instead, you might prefer to fly a microlight or a paramotor! Maybe you'll choose to step out of an aircraft, into thin air, and drift down to the ground under a parachute!
Think about where you would do "Your Favorite Air Sport." What will your air or space craft look like? Ah, before you decide, imagine all of the possibilities then pick up your favorite colored pens, pencils, or paint and create a poster of "Your Favorite Air Sport!"
