Young artists invited in aviation art contest |
|
April 5, 2017 |
Young Idaho artists are invited to submit their
creative artwork through May 15 in the Idaho
Aviation Art Contest sponsored by the Idaho
Transportation Department’s Division of
Aeronautics.
“Aviation Recreation” is the theme for the
contest, open to young artists ages 5 to 17.
Use your imagination — the sky is the limit!
What types of recreation have you witnessed
taking place in the sky? Drones, planes,
helicopters, hot air balloons, perhaps? Beyond
that, what can you envision?
Submitted art must not exceed 11-by-14 inch
legal size. Two-dimensional watercolor, acrylic
or oil, colored pencil, felt-tip markers,
ballpoint pen, pen and ink and crayon are
permitted.
Pencil, charcoal, computer art, clip art or
collages using photo images and photocopies are
prohibited.
Artwork will be judged in four categories –
Beginner (ages 5-6), Junior (ages 7-9),
Intermediate (10-13) and Senior (ages 14-17) –
and will be based on originality, design and
relativity to the theme.
First-place winners from each category will be
invited on an airplane ride in addition to
participating in an awards ceremony.
They will also have the option to have their art
signed by Idaho Governor C.L. “Butch” Otter,
along with a framed congratulatory letter.
Winning artists will be announced in the state
aviation publication, Rudder Flutter, and each
will receive a subscription.
In addition, these accomplished artists will be
invited to participate in our Ace Academy in
mid-June, regardless of their age.
Second-place winners will receive $25 worth of
art supplies, a congratulatory letter signed by
the governor, and an announcement in the Rudder
Flutter along with a subscription.
To obtain a copy of the 2017 brochure and the
official entry form with the certificate of
authenticity, please visit the Division of
Aeronautics website at
