International Aviation Art Contest 2007

New Jersey artists aged 6 to 17 are invited to participate in the International Aviation Art Contest (pdf 758 kb). The 2007 theme is "Airfield". Artwork will be judged, at least in part, for its creative use of this year’s theme in relation to the aviation world. The contest is divided into state, national and international segments. The winners of the state contest compete nationally and finally, national winners compete internationally.

You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to view the PDF file, which is available at our state Adobe Acrobat Access page.
