Calling all young artists, it is time to reach for your pens and brushes and show us your creative spirit ! There isn’t much time left to enter the 2011 Young Artists contest !

Like every year, the 2011 Young Artists Contest gives the opportunity for budding artists to express themselves artistically about a subject related to aviation. The contest is divided in three age categories (6-9, 10-13, 14-17 years old).

This year, the theme for the contest is "50 Years of Human Space Flight", in recognition of the 50th anniversary of the first human space flight achieved in 1961 by Soviet cosmonaut Gagarin.

What should you do to enter ?

• Contact the FAI Member in your country and check with them the deadline to submit your drawing
• Send your artwork to your FAI Member

The FAI Member in your country will proceed to the selection of the three best artworks in each category and send the chosen artworks to the FAI by 18 April 2011. Entries will be judged by an International Jury at the end of April.

So get started today and you might be one of the lucky Gold, Silver or Bronze Medal winners !
