Karl Kahler (Tico Times) writes: “If you’re an artist looking to get your career off the ground, or perhaps take it to the next level, Nature Air’s contest to decorate an airplane tail might be just the ticket.” As Kahler highlights, the Costa Rican airline is known for its elaborately painted small planes. Now the company is inviting artists, designers and students to submit artwork to decorate the tails of the newest additions to its fleet. The deadline for submissions is October 7! See full article in the link below:

Winners will receive tickets for four on the plane that bears their design to the Nature Air destination of their choice, plus two nights of lodging. And they will be featured in the in-flight magazine Landings, according to a news release from the airline.

The artwork should reflect iconic images of the flora, fauna, culture and natural beauty of Costa Rica and Nicaragua, the guidelines say (no offense, Panama). Three top designs will be chosen. Artwork must be submitted by Oct. 7, and winners will be announced Oct. 9 on social networks. [. . .]
