The contest jury consisting of amateur and professional photographers and led by Pierre Vellay, Air France’s vice president of fleet management, will select 10 candidates for each livery, with a grand prize awarded to the best one. Prizes will be supplied by the airline and its partners–Airbus, Aviaxcess, Boeing, Breitling, Epson, PPG Aerospace, Socatec and STTS.
