Bob Hope Airport Salutes Young Artists
The high school student winners and finalists of the Bob Hope Airport’s “2011 Tower Banner Art Contest” from the Burbank, Glendale and Pasadena unified school districts presented their winning artwork at the March 7, 2011, Airport Authority meeting.
Joining them were their art teachers and district art coordinators, along with many of the students’ proud parents.
This is the fourth year the Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena Airport Authority has invited high school students in grades 9 to 12 to enter the Bob Hope Airport Tower Banner Art Contest. Each year, the Airport Authority chooses a different aviation theme for the contest. This year’s theme was “Up and Away.”
The winning artwork from each school district is displayed on the façade of the Bob Hope Airport terminal tower for a period of approximately three months. The winning entries are rotated among Burbank, Glendale and Pasadena schools.
Burbank’s winning banner, created by 11th grader Jasmine Flores from John Burroughs High School, will be the first to be displayed on the tower beginning in September.
Glendale Unified School District’s winning banner, created by 12th grader Christina Padilla from Crescenta Valley High School, will be displayed starting January 2012.
Pasadena Unified School District’s winning banner, created by 11th grader Hannah Baldwin from Pasadena High School, will be displayed beginning April 2012.
