2025 Aviation Art Contest

The U.S. Youth Aviation Art Contest, organized by the National Association of State Aviation Officials and the National Aeronautic Association, encourages youth aged 6 to 17 to depict the significance of aviation. This year’s theme, “Women with Wings,” inspired entries from across the country. State-level winners advanced to the national competition, judged by representatives from organizations such as the Aircraft Owners & Pilots Association Foundation and the National Air & Space Museum. Pranav K. Vemireddy of Texas placed third nationally in the junior category.
