September 20, 2022 (Lincoln, Neb.) – The sense of liberty that pilots and skydivers feel when flying
through the skies often comes hand-in-hand with a deep appreciation of the blue and green planet
below. Aviation has always been at the forefront of technology and over the generations, those
involved in aeronautics have felt an ever-increasing pressure to protect our planet.
By letting our imagination fly, we ask you to explore the ways that air sports can interact harmoniously
with our environment. How can air sports help inspire others to protect our earth? How can technology
and greener fuels be used to power aircraft? How could aviation be involved in reducing, reusing, and
recycling?
Youngsters ages 6 through 17, now is the time to get out your favorite artist supplies and give free rein
to your imagination for the 2023 Aviation Art Contest. Create a poster that represents your thoughts
about this year’s theme: “Air Sports & The Environment.”
