WHO:  Students from all over the world, ages 5-16.

WHAT:  The 2nd AIAA Evolution of Flight Campaign Art Contest.  Entries must
be original artwork on an 8-1/2" x 11" sheet of white paper (no computer
generated or three-dimensional art is eligible).  Artwork should be based on
the theme "2102 ... Life in Space".  Imagine that in 100 years, mankind is
living in space.  Show examples of what you think "Life in Space" would be
like - what would your school or home look like, would cars or food be
different, what would vacations be like, what kind of pets would you have,
or even show how society has benefited by living in space.  Use your
imagination!

Winning artwork will be featured on the AIAA Evolution of Flight web site
and in other AIAA promotional materials.  Prizes will be awarded.

WHEN:  Entries must be postmarked by 1 March 2002. Entries postmarked after
1 March 2002 will not be considered in the contest.

HOW:  Complete your artwork and write your first and last name and age on
the front of your entry in the bottom right corner in black marker ink.
Have your parent or guardian fill out and sign the AIAA Entry/Parental
