The Theme for the 2009 Contest will be: "Create a Poster for the World Air Games" The FAI is particularly concerned with all forms of sporting and recreational aviation, including: * BALLOONING, GLIDING and PARACHUTING * AEROBATICS * HANG - GLIDING and PARAGLIDING * MICROLIGHT / ULTRALIGHT FLYING * MODEL AIRCRAFT * LIGHT AIRCRAFT and HELICOPTER FLYING FAI Member organisations are responsible for making arrangements in each country for a national competition, or similar process of selection, for young people resident in their countries. Some guidelines on how to organise this are also attached. We recommend that the prizes for winners of national competitions should include visits to sport aviation airports and museums, and if possible flights in light aircraft, gliders or balloons. Each country may submit to FAI a maximum of 9 paintings (3 in each years of birth category). All entries must be received at the FAI Office by 14th April 2009 at the following address : Fédération Aéronautique Internationale Avenue Mon-Repos 24 CH-1005 Lausanne Switzerland Entries will be judged by an International Jury. The winners in each age group will receive Gold, Silver and Bronze Medals, together with diplomas. These medals and diplomas will be sent to the FAI Member organisations in the appropriate countries as soon as possible after judging is completed. The FAI delegates from the countries concerned will be responsible for arranging a suitable occasion for the presentation of the awards. Entries, once received by FAI will become and remain the property of FAI, which may use them for a variety of purposes.
