PennDOT Invites Students to Enter Aviation Art Contest
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation invites young
artists to express their creativity through its annual aviation art
contest, sponsored by the department's Bureau of Aviation. "We've
been very pleased with the participation and creativity students
showed in this contest in the past," said PennDOT Secretary Allen
D. Biehler, P.E. "Aviation supports thousands of jobs in
Pennsylvania, so we're glad that kids are learning about an
important industry and having fun at the same time."
"The View from the Pilot's Seat" is the theme of this year's
contest. Entries will be judged in two divisions: first through
third grades, and fourth and fifth grades. There will be 22
statewide winners, with one winner from each division selected from
each of PennDOT's 11 district offices. Winners will receive a
certificate signed by Secretary Biehler and a mounted, full-color,
16-by-20-inch copy of their entry. The students' schools will also
receive a mounted copy of the artwork for display.
Artwork should be submitted on 8.5-by-11-inch or 9-by-12-inch
paper, unframed, unmatted and unlaminated. All work must be done by
hand (there is an exception for children with physical
challenges).
Permitted formats are: acrylic, oil paint, felt-tip pens,
indelible ink, soft ballpoint pens, watercolor or crayons. Formats
that are not permitted include: non-permanent media such as pencil
or charcoal, computer-generated artwork and collage work using
photocopies.
The back of each submission should include the student's name,
teacher's name, grade level, county and school address and phone
number. Entries will not be returned. Entries must be postmarked by
Oct. 15.
Send entries to:

Winners' schools will be notified by telephone.
