| (Santa Ana, CA) – Nineteen of Orange County’s most gifted
young artists will be recognized next Tuesday by the Orange County
Board of Supervisors for their award winning entries in John Wayne
Airport’s 14th Annual Student Art Contest. The students, winners
at the local county level of the annual aviation art competition, all
went on to win additional State, National, and International awards
for their entries.
“The quality of the artwork we received was extremely impressive,” said
John Wayne Airport Director Alan Murphy. “It is no wonder that many of
the entries went on to win at the state, national, and international levels of
the competition. They made a lot of parents, art teachers, school officials,
and John Wayne Airport officials very proud.”
The Annual John Wayne Airport Student Art Contest is formally sponsored
by the National Aeronautic Association, National Association of State
Aviation Officials, and Federal Aviation Administration, in cooperation
with the Federation Aéronautique Internationale. Nearly 2,000
student entries were received by the Airport for this year’s competition,
which was themed “Flying Saves Lives.“ The winning entries
received prizes donated by local businesses, had their artwork hung at
John Wayne Airport’s Thomas F. Riley Terminal, and then went
on to compete at the State, National, and International level of the
competition.
The student art contest winners will be honored on Tuesday, May 18
at the
9:30 a.m. Orange County Board of Supervisors meeting at the Hall of
Administration Board Chambers at 10 Civic Center Plaza in Santa Ana.
Their winning artwork
