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 "Create a Poster for the World Air Games". 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.
