Art contest entries sought

HARRISBURG — PennDOT invites young artists to express their creativity through its annual aviation art contest, sponsored by PennDOT’s Bureau of Aviation. “The View from the Pilot’s Seat” is the theme of this year’s contest. Entries will be judged in two divisions: first through third grades, and fourth and fifth grades. There will be 22 statewide winners, with one winner from each division selected from each of PennDOT’s 11 district offices. Winners will receive a certificate signed by PennDOT Secretary Biehler Allen D. Biehler and a mounted, full-color, 16-by-20-inch copy of their entry. The students’ schools will also receive a mounted copy of the artwork for display. Artwork should be submitted on 8.5-by-11-inch or 9-by-12-inch paper, unframed, unmatted and unlaminated. All work must be done by hand (there is an exception for children with physical challenges). Entries must be postmarked by Oct. 15. For details, call 717-783-8800.
