Working to the theme of “Beyond the clouds”, children from across the world were invited to take part in the 2017 FAI Young Artists Contest, which is open to 6 to 17-year-olds from all FAI Member countries.
India’s Mohd Ubaid won the Junior category; Amaan, also from India, won the Intermediate; and Elizaveta Timoshenko from Russia won the Senior category.
This year, the competition saw entries from 16 countries, including: Belarus, Bulgaria, China, Czech Republic, Finland, France, India, Japan, Poland, Romania, Russia, Switzerland, Turkey, Ukraine, United Kingdom and USA.
The FAI Young Artists Contest has taken place every year since 1986. The competition honours the best paintings from youngsters in three age categories: Junior (6-9 years old); Intermediate (10-13); and Senior (14-17).
FAI Members organise either a national competition, or similar process of selection, for the young people resident in their respective countries. The national winning paintings are then submitted to the FAI International Jury. A different theme is chosen every year to inspire the young artists and reflect the many facets of air sports.
Winners are awarded special FAI Young Artists medals and diplomas.
