The winners of our annual FAI Young Artists Contest have been announced. Nine remarkable young people have been inspired by the theme of ‘air sports for a peaceful world’ to create their own vision of harmony and unity, evidencing a clear understanding of this hopeful message and demonstrating astonishing technical skill in putting their ideas on paper. The intention of the 2024 theme was to encourage artists to consider the potential for air sports to bring people together, promoting positive relationships that cross borders and contribute to a better, more peaceful world. Symbols such as doves, hearts, and flags of all nations entwine with paragliders, hot air balloons and gliders in the colourful artworks. 💙 Pictured here is the work by Jihyeon Han of USA, who has been awarded the top prize in the senior category.
