2012 International Aviation Art Contest
The New Hampshire Department of Transportation is again participating in the 2012 International Aviation Art Contest.
The Bureau of Aeronautics is coordinating this year’s State contest along with the sponsorship of the National Association of State Aviation Officials (NASAO). The Federation Aeronautique Internationale (FAI) sponsors the international phase, to motivate and encourage young people of FAI member nations to become more familiar with and participate in space, aeronautics, engineering and science.
The 2012 theme is “Silent Flight” and artwork will be judged, at least in part, for its creative use of that theme. There are 3 categories for the 2012 contest: Group I – Junior Category (date of birth between 1 January 2002 and 31 December 2005), Group II – Intermediate Category (date of birth between 1 January 1998 and 31 December 2001) and Group III – Senior Category (date of birth between 1 January 1994 and 31 December 1997). The state winners’ art will be forwarded to Washington, D.C. for judging on a national basis with those winners’ art being sent to the FAI to be judged internationally. All entries must be postmarked no later than Friday, January 13, 2012. Copies of the winning art are usually displayed at the Shepard/McAuliffe Discovery Center in Concord.
Please contact the Bureau of Aeronautics for an official application/brochure and encourage your children, grandchildren, young friends, etc.
