This year’s winning T-shirt was designed by Lynn Thompson, a regular AirVenture attendee and self-proclaimed aviation nut. Lynn is currently working on getting her pilot’s certificate, which inspired her to enter the WomenVenture T-shirt Contest. One night while looking through aviation magazines, she was inspired by how beautiful the jet engine looked. She then thought it would be cool if it was paired with the radial engine, showing the evolution of aviation from beginning to present.
WomenVenture Photo
As a safety precaution, we’ve decided to make the traditional WomenVenture group photo a virtual experience.
After you pick up your WomenVenture T-shirt, snap a selfie of yourself wearing your new duds at your favorite AirVenture location. During the week of AirVenture, we’ll provide a phone number to which you’ll be able to text your selfie. You’ll not only receive your free digital WomenVenture 2021 framed photo, but we’ll also create a 2021 commemorative photo collage from submitted photos, which will be available for download after AirVenture 2021.
When you get your free digital WomenVenture 2021 framed photo back via text, don’t forget to share it on your favorite social media channel with #EAAWomenVenture. Check back to this page during the week of AirVenture for a feed of fabulous WomenVenture selfies!
