The KDOT Division of Aviation officials are encouraging young artists take their talents to new heights by participating in the 2017 International Aviation Art Contest, “Beyond the Clouds.”
The contest, for which there is no entry fee, is for artists
ages 6 to 17 years of age and is intended to “celebrate the adventures and
excitement only available in that special place beyond the clouds.” It is
sponsored by the Kansas Department of Transportation, the National Association
of State Aviation Officials, the Federal Aviation Administration and others.
Artists will compete in age groups:
- Those born between Jan. 1, 2007 and Dec. 31, 2010
- Jan. 1, 2003, and Dec. 31, 2006
- And Jan. 1, 1999, and Dec. 31, 2002
The top three state winners from each age group will have their work entered in the national competition. The three winners in each group at the national level will then have their entries considered in international competition.
State winners will receive a certificate and state recognition; national winners will receive certificates, ribbons and a framed reproduction of their artwork; and international winners will receive certificates and medals.
The deadline for entries, which cannot be computer-generated and must be submitted in 11¾-by-16½-inch format, is Jan. 20, 2017.
