News and Events

Special events are scheduled throughout the year in New Jersey. In addition, museums throughout the state feature aviation exhibits.

International Aviation Art Contest 2009

New Jersey artists aged 6 to 17 are invited to participate in the International Aviation Art Contest. The 2009 theme is "Create a Poster for the World Air Games.”

In 2009, the top air sport athletes from around the globe will travel to Turin, Italy, to compete in the largest air sports event in the
world organized under the auspices of the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI), the World Air Games. Over the course of a
week, spectators will watch world class competitions and air shows fill the sky in a dazzling display of possibilities that can only take place above the ground.

Artwork will be judged, at least in part, for its creative use of this year’s theme in relation to the aviation world. The contest is divided into state, national and international segments.

Additional information, including Contest Rules and the Certificate of Authenticity, are provided in the 2009 Contest Brochure (pdf 4.6m).

Entries must be postmarked by Friday, January 16, 2009.

Contest entries should be sent to:
