The Wisconsin Department of Transportation’s Bureau of Aeronautics encourages children, ages seven to 17, to showcase their artistic talent by participating in its annual statewide contest. This year’s theme is “Silent Flight.” It celebrates and honors air travel that is only powered by wind. Examples include kites, gliders, para-gliders and hot air balloons.
The top three entries in three different age divisions will advance to the national competition, with the potential to be entered in the international aviation art contest. In addition, statewide winners will receive the following prizes:
· First place: $100 art supply gift certificate OR an airplane ride for two
· Second place: $75 art supply gift certificate
· Third place: $50 art supply gift certificate
All artwork must be original and cannot be computer generated. For complete contest rules and the appropriate entry form, visit http://www.dot.wisconsin.gov/travel/air/art.htm. Entries must be postmarked by Friday, January 12, 2012, and mailed to:
