The winning entries came from the states of Arizona, California, New Jersey, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Wisconsin.

Nearly 4,000 students from 26 states submitted their work this year in the state contests, with the states of North Carolina, Oklahoma and Texas receiving the most.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe New Jersey Department of Transportation, Bureau of Aeronautics, is proud of all our young artists and their interest in aviation,\u201d said Ashwin \u2018Max\u2019 Patel, Manager of Multimodal Grants & Programs, and Bureau of Aeronautics. \u201cWe are very excited that Lynn Sun has been recognized at the National level and will be representing New Jersey in the International competition.\u201d<\/p>\n

The contest, sanctioned by FAI and the National Aeronautic Association (NAA), is managed by NASAO, with support from the FAA, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and the Ken Cook Company. The contest is designed to motivate and encourage young people of FAI member nations to become familiar with and participate in aeronautics, engineering, and science.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlong with their artistic prowess, the US Winners of the 2018 International Aviation Art Contest really showed their imagination this year,\u201d stated Dr. Jeff DeCarlo, Chairman of NASAO\u2019s sister organization, the NASAO Center for Aviation Research and Education. \u201cOur entire organization is beyond pleased with the submissions, some of which may provide a peek into our aviation future.\u201d<\/p>\n
