Call for Entries for 2015 Aviation Art Contest

RALEIGH It's that time again! The N.C. Department of Transportation is seeking entries for its 2015 North Carolina Aviation Art Contest. This year, kids are encouraged to submit a poster capturing the excitement of the FAI World Air Games in Dubai. Billed as the largest sports event in the world, the games feature world class competitions and air shows over a 12-day period.

The contest, sponsored by the N.C. Department of Transportation's Division of Aviation, is open to children between the ages of 6 and 17. The entry deadline is Jan. 23, 2015. All children who live in and/or attend school in North Carolina are encouraged to participate.

Entries will be divided into junior, intermediate and senior categories. The top three entries in each age group will be forwarded to Washington, DC, to be judged in the national competition. National award winners will have a chance to compete internationally!

Contest rules and guidelines, as well as where to submit entries, are available on the Division of Aviation's website.
