Winners of the 2012 FAI Young Artists Contest named

D-YAKOVLEV-2012art3-1bigBudding artists once again shone at the FAI Young Artists Contest, a painting competition where youngsters have the opportunity to express their talent and passion for flight.

This year’s theme “Silent Flight” proved to be particularly inspiring with 111 artists competing from 14 FAI Members countries. Although almost all air sports were featured on the paintings, ballooning and hang gliding, with the ocean as a background, were the most represented subjects. Among all the entries, many of them immediately caught the eyes of the jury, which made it a difficult task to decide on the final rankings for all of the three age categories.

The FAI congratulates the winners of the 2012 FAI Young Artists Contest – All of them will receive a FAI Gold, Silver or Bronze Medal that will be presented to them by the FAI Member countries or by FAI President John Grubbström at the Awards Ceremony that will take place during the FAI General Conference in October.
