FAI Young Artists Contest 2018 - ART CONTEST

The FAI Young Artists Contest, an international annual art contest for youngsters between the ages of 6 and 17, has been recently opened for entries for 2018 themed "Flying in the future".

---

If you have ever dreamed of flying or built a paper airplane, you have walked in the footsteps of the men and women who created the world of aviation as we know it today. Ideas were written on paper.
Wooden and cloth models were built to test the designs before the actual balloons, gliders, and planes were built and tested by brave men and women in the air.

What new innovations and ideas will shape the aviation of the future? From hang gliders and parachutists, to drone pilots and citizen astronauts, the only limit to the future of flight is the imagination of builders, dreamers and pilots of today.
It’s time to tap into your own imagination, grab your favorite set of crayons, markers, pencils, or paints and create a poster for this year’s Fédération Aéronautique Internationale’s theme, "Flight into the Future". Show us your vision of what can happen when people work together and follow their passion for flight.

The FAI is particularly concerned with all forms of sporting and recreational aviation, including:

• BALLOONING
• GLIDING
• PARACHUTING
• AEROBATICS
• HANG - GLIDING and PARAGLIDING
• MICROLIGHT / ULTRALIGHT FLYING
• MODEL AIRCRAFT
• LIGHT AIRCRAFT
• HELICOPTER FLYING
• SPACE WORLD RECORDS

Guidlines:

• Artwork must not be framed or outlined with borders.
• Medium: All artwork must be done by hand (or, in the case of handicapped children, by foot or mouth).
