SDDOT / Aeronautics / General Information / International Aviation Art Contest

Every year the National Association of State Aviation Officials (NASAO) helps sponsor this contest in an effort to motivate and encourage young people of Federation Aeronautique Internationale (FAI) member nations to become more familiar with and participate in aeronautics, engineering and science.

This year's theme for the contest was "Air Sports and Nature in Harmony". We had many submissions and it was difficult choosing our winners to send to the national contest. 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.
