UPDATE: Annual Aeronautics Art Contest showcases students’ love for aviation; deadline for submissions extended to March 31
BOISE - Students in grades K-12 can express their love for aviation through artwork during the annual aviation art contest sponsored by Idaho’s Division of Aeronautics through an extended deadline of March 31. A love affair with flight usually begins at an early age, and art may be the perfect medium to express that affection.
Submitted art must not exceed 11” x 14”
and must have an aviation theme. There will be three age groups:
Kindergarten through fourth grade; fifth grade through eighth grade; and
ninth grade through 12th grade. The contest is for two-dimensional
color, black-and-white, technical drawings (schematics), or painting
(including watercolor, oil and other media.)
The student's name,
grade, mailing address, home/cell phone number, school name and address,
teacher's name and contact information, and indication as to whether
the entry can be used to promote future contests must be printed on the
back of the submission.
The first-place prize in each category is
a round-trip flight from the student's hometown to Boise, chaperoned by
parents or legal guardian. An award and certificate of achievement will
be presented by Idaho Governor C.L. "Butch" Otter, and students and
parents can tour the Idaho Capitol.
Second- and third-place
winners in each category will receive an award and certificate of
achievement from Governor Otter mailed to the student.
Completed art must be received by the Division of Aeronautics no later than March 31, at.
