This year, the North Dakota Aeronautics Commission received over 100 pieces of art, from a number of school districts in the state. The annual contest is part of a larger national and international effort to inspire youth to illustrate the importance of aviation and aerospace through art. Contest submissions were grouped into three separate age categories for judging, allowing students ranging from 6–17 years old to compete. The contest theme was “Air Sports & The Environment.”
This annual contest is a conduit for students to explore aerospace and aeronautics. We hope educators will use this contest at the earliest ages to start conversations about aviation careers.
