The theme of this new contest deals with ICARUS, the bird-man's myth, from the Greek Mythology. This theme embodies the man's power to go beyond his limits and his ancestors', but also his fascination of the sky, the birds and eolians elements. When a man has already walked to the highest mounts and through the driest deserts, isn't his exploring instinct naturally turning towards the sky and beyond ?
Definition > ICARUS : Icarus was the son of Daedalus and a slave, Naucrate. One day King Minos imprisoned them in his Labyrinth. Daedalus knew that Minos controlled any escape routes by land or sea, so he used his skills to build wings for himself and Icarus. He used wax and string to fasten feathers to reeds of varying lengths to imitate the curves of birds' wings. When their wings were ready, Daedalus warned Icarus to fly at medium altitude otherwise the sun could melt the wax of his wings if he flew too high, and the sea could dampen the feathers if he flew too low. Once they had escaped Crete, Icarus became exhilarated by flight. Ignoring his father's warning, he flew higher and higher. The sun melted the wax holding his wings together, and the boy fell into the water and drowned. Daedalus buried his son on an island which would be called Icaria.
