2003 Aviation Art Contest Winners

"The Federation Aeronautique Internationale, based in Paris, France, has sponsored the International Aviation Art Contest in cooperation with the National Association of State Aviation Officials and its 50 member states, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and the National Aeronautic Association. In 2003, the FAA Western-Pacific Region coordinated the state segment of the contest, in cooperation with the California Department of Transportation's Division of Aeronautics, numerous airports, schools, teachers, aviation organizations, county offices of education, and artists.

"The purpose of the competition is to stimulate students' interest in aviation, consider aviation careers, and increase public awareness of the benefits of aviation and aerospace. The contest's theme in 2003 was "100 Years of Powered Flight". The students' artworks are in three groups: Category I (ages 6-9), Category II (ages 10-13), and Category III (ages 14-17).

"Congratulations to all the participants! We wish you success in your future endeavors!"
