2022 U.S. NASAO's Youth Aviation Art Contest
2022 U.S. NASAO's Youth Aviation Art Contest - For several years, Mrs. Jackie Campbell’s students have been assigned to do one art-related contest for the school year. One of the contests to pick from this year was the NASAO aviation contest. The students were asked to illustrate the importance of aviation and to represent in their project this year’s theme “Design Your Perfect Aircraft.” The finished entries were mailed to the Kansas Department of Transportation in Topeka for judging. There are three separate age classes for judging. According to NASAO, “To qualify for the U.S. national contest, all artwork was first submitted into state-level competitions, with the winning entries forwarded to NASAO for national award consideration.” Last year, NASAO received from 15 participating states over 120 pieces of art. This year, Hoxie had three state winners in DIVISION III: Third Place: Fernando Castaneda, Second Place: Brenden Cook, and First Place: Isaac Diercks. Fernando drew an airplane as a taxi service, Brenden had a visual of a type of glider, and Isaac drew a drone that transported people. These students will be awarded an engraved medal and a prize package. Isaac will also be awarded a drone. Their work is currently displayed in Washington, DC., and will be judged later this month on the national level.
