AIR SPORTS AND THE ENVIRONMENT: FAI YOUNG ARTISTS CONTEST 2023 THEME
AIR SPORTS AND THE ENVIRONMENT: FAI YOUNG ARTISTS CONTEST 2023 THEME. The FAI is encouraging young people to think on the topic of “Air sports and the environment” for the 2023 Young Artists Contest, and it is asking them to explain how they see aviation playing a part in preserving our world.
The competition was held for the first time in 1986. Winners of national competitions from nine different countries were invited to compete in the finals of the 2022 competition, which was just awarded. The winning artworks were created in Japan, Poland, the United States of America, China, and Lithuania.
The competitors in the 2023 competition are reminded, as part of the competition’s most recent topic, that artists frequently take the initiative in picturing a more positive future:
‘AIR SPORTS AND THE ENVIRONMENT
When flying through the clouds, pilots and athletes who participate in air sports frequently report feeling a sense of liberation. This emotion is typically accompanied by a strong appreciation for the blue and green planet below them. [Case in point:] When viewed from a higher vantage point, both the splendour of our planet and the precariousness of its ecosystem are more clearly apparent.
People who have been actively involved in aeronautics for a number of generations have felt an ever-increasing need to defend our planet. This obligation has been passed down from generation to generation. This is due to the fact that aviation has historically been on the cutting edge of several technological innovations. Aviators have a responsibility to push the limits of human ingenuity and imagination in order to harness cleaner energy and minimise the impact that air sports have, both now and in the future, on the earth and its environment. This responsibility extends both to the here and now as well as to the future.
We want you to examine the ways in which air sports could link with our natural environment in a way that is coherent and advantageous to both parties as a young artist on the rise.
We need you to open up the floodgates of your imagination in order for us to be successful in this endeavour. Take into account the following: If other people participate in air sports, how can they be driven to take better care of our planet and the other people who live on it? Do you have any ideas on how developments in science and technology could make it possible to power aeroplanes with fuels that are less destructive to the environment? I’d be really interested to hear your thoughts on this. Is it even somewhat possible that the stunning landscapes of our planet could, at some point in the future, serve as inspiration for the growth of the aviation industry? In what ways can the aviation business contribute to the overarching objective of reducing, reusing, and recycling resources?
It is not uncommon for creative people to take the initiative when visualising a better and more upbeat future for society. Bring out all of your favourite creative supplies because now is the time to try to conjure an image of how air sports of the future can help to preserve our planet for the benefit of the well-being of future generations.
To be eligible to compete in the competition, would-be competitors need to be between the ages of six and seventeen. A competition that is held on an annual basis on a national level and is organised by individuals who are members of the FAI extends an invitation to young artists to participate in the competition. The winners of these tournaments will be entered by the FAI into the final step of evaluation, which will be carried out by the FAI. In addition to conferring diplomas, the Federation of Art Industries (FAI) bestows its gold, silver, and bronze medals on the top three artists in each of the following age categories in recognition of their exceptional accomplishments in the following areas:
It is common practice to refer to Group I as the Junior Category (ages 6-9)
The second category is what some people allude to when they talk about the “intermediate category” (ages 10-13)
Group III is typically referred to as the Senior Division (ages 13-17)
