Bring your artwork to new heights - contest


Are you interested in entering an art contest that could take your artwork or photograph to new heights? The Missouri Department of Transportation is hosting an art contest to find a winning design or photo to grace the cover of its 2011-2012 Aeronautical Chart.

College art students are encouraged to enter airport-related photographs or artwork in any medium. The winning submission will be printed on the chart and about 15,000 will be distributed to airports, legislators, Departments of Transportation, universities and science museums.
