Students are invited to depict aviation’s importance to public safety by participating in the 2014 Aviation Art Contest.
The contest theme, “Flying Saves Lives,” aims to illustrate how aircraft can transport much-needed supplies or provide relief during emergencies. Entries must be postmarked by Friday, Jan. 17, 2014.
Entries from children 6 to 17 years old will be accepted in three categories: Junior, for those born between Jan. 1, 2004, and Dec. 31, 2007; Intermediate, born between Jan. 1, 2000, and Dec. 31, 2003; and Senior, born between Jan. 1, 1996, and Dec. 21, 1999.
Winners in each age group will be selected in each of PennDOT’s 11 engineering districts in each age group. Winners will receive an enlarged copy of their entry and a certificate signed by Barry J. Schoch, PennDOT secretary. Students’ schools also will receive an enlarged copy of the artwork to display.
The top three entries statewide in each category will be forwarded for judging in the national competition.
Artwork must be submitted on 11.75-inch-by-16.5-inch paper, or the nearest equivalent. Submissions must not be framed or outlined with borders. All work must be done by hand, with an exception for children with physical challenges.
