“When choosing the FAI World Air Games as this year’s theme we hoped to make thousands of young people aware of this fantastic competition. We also saw it as a great opportunity for them to learn more about the sports featuring in the event programme and the exciting city of Dubai. Looking at the wonderful paintings we received, I am delighted to see that this objective has fully been reached!” said FAI Young Artists Contest Coordinator Suzie Gebb.
