USUA Youth Are Invited To Participate In The FAI Young Artists Contest
The Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI) Young Artists Contest is an international art contest for youngsters between the ages of 6 and 17. Each National Aero Club (NAC) sponsors the contest in their country, and the national winners are submitted to the International Jury each year.
In the US, the NAC is the National Aeronautic Association (NAA), and the official Ultralight/Microlight representative to NAA is USUA. Because of this connection, USUA is offering our children support and encouragement in entering this contest. Additionally, the top 3 Contest winners in each class (age group) will be featured on the USUA website and in a featured article in UltraFlight Magazine.
The Official Theme for 2007 is: AIRFIELD
Interpretation of the 2007 theme
Located on the outskirts of towns and cities across the world, a special place awaits people who keep their eyes to the skies. With
runways of grass or concrete, the airfield offers a world of adventure, excitement, and fun.
While some people use the field to travel to other cities, many show up to play in the sky. They sightsee by balloon, soar through the air in gliders, or motor across the sky in ultralights. Skydivers use aircraft to get up into the air and choose the thrill of returning to the ground on their own. Aerobatic pilots loop and dive their planes as spectators cheer from the ground. At a slower speed, paragliders sail through the air and glide to soft landings on grassy strips.
With feet firmly planted on the ground, many watch the excitement overhead. Modelers also experience the sky from the ground as they fly the world's classic planes and fastest jets, in miniature. Aeromodelling brings the past to life and lets girls and boys, men and women, fly their own airplanes from airfields built just for these smaller versions of real aircraft.
Now it's your turn to join in the fun. Take a trip to an airfield near you or image one of your very own. Grab a brush, crayon, or pen
and capture the excitement and the possibility of the world's airfields.
State Awards
Entries in each age group will be judged and state winners and runners-up will be selected. Winners will receive a certificate and
recognition from their state. The top three entries in each age group will be forwarded to Washington, D.C., to participate in the
national competition.
National Awards
A national winner and two runners-up will be selected from each age group. All national winners will receive certificates, ribbons, a
framed reproduction of their artwork, and a professional work of art compliments of the American Society of Aviation Artists.

The national winners and runners-up in each age group will be forwarded to FAI headquarters for international judging. Winners of the
