MONGOLIAN CHILD WINS 2014 FAI YOUNG ARTISTS CONTEST

Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ A Mongolian boy O.Dolgoon has won a gold medal in the 2014 FAI Young Artists Contest themed “Flying to Save Lives”, the FAI's website published Friday.
He was one of the winners from China, Japan, Nepal, Turkey, Ukraine and USA at the contest, which every year awards FAI Medals and Diplomas to artists in three age categories from 6 to 17 years old, the website says.
The Mongolian boy won the contest in the intermediate category (ages 10-13), and he was followed by Anastasiya Novikova of Russia and K.C. Bibeen of Nepal.
Competition was fierce, not only because of the quality of the artworks, but also due to the significant rise in participation: the number of FAI Members taking part in the contest soared from 14 in 2013 to 21 in 2014 with the involvement Bulgaria, Canada, China, Czech Republic, France, Finland, India, Italy, Japan, Libya, Lithuania, Mongolia, Nepal, Poland, Qatar, Russia, Serbia, Switzerland, Turkey, Ukraine and USA.
“We are delighted that this year's theme, 'Flying to Save Lives', was so inspirational. The paintings are of excellent quality and we are honoured to award Medals and Diplomas to such talented youngsters,” FAI Young Artists Contest Coordinator Suzie Gebb stated. “Twenty-one FAI Members participated in this year's contest, some of them - Turkey, Switzerland and USA - having received between 5,000 and 10,000 entries. We also noticed with pleasure that many new countries such as Egypt, Libya and Mongolia joined the contest for the first time,” it says.
The International Jury, which consisted of the Delegates and Bureau Members of the FAI Aviation and Space Education Commission (CIEA) present at its Annual Meeting, chose the winning paintings among the 9 best artworks (3 per age category) selected by each FAI Member at a national level.
The FAI Young Artists Contest has been organized every year since 1986. It is an international art contest for youngsters between the ages of 6 and 17.
FAI Members make arrangements in each country for a national competition, or similar process of selection, for young people resident in their countries. The national winners are then submitted to the International Jury. A different theme is chosen every year to inspire the young artists and reflect the many facets of air sports.
