SDDOT / Aeronautics / General Information / International Aviation Art Contest

Every year South Dakota Pilots Association and the Office of Local Transportation Programs-Aeronautics sponsors a contest in an effort to motivate and encourage young people to become more familiar with and participate in aeronautics, engineering and science.

This year's theme for the contest was "Flying with the Sun". We had many submissions and it was difficult choosing our winners. Each person will receive a prize purchased by the South Dakota Pilots Association and the Office of Local Transportation Programs-Aeronautics and a laminated copy of their poster. Below are pictures of the winners' submissions which will also be published in our co-sponsor's news letter, the South Dakota Pilots Association News.
