Announcement: College Due
Date extended, High School Division opens:
Due to our own learning curve on how to best accept
entries to the contest, we have extended the deadline
for college entries to March 15, 2008. College
entries will be accepted any time through March 15. High School students
may enter from January 15 to March 15, 2008. For any questions on the deadline
or entry process, please contact Dr. Liz Ward, Contest Administrator, at Elizabeth.B.Ward@nasa.gov or
by phone at 757-864-7638
You may also wish to consult our resources and multimedia pages at the left side
menu bar.
Contest at a
Glance:
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration invites
college students from the arts, including industrial
design, architecture, computer design, and the fine
arts, to submit their work on the theme: Life
and Work on the Moon.
The art contest gives students and faculty an opportunity
to form an
inter-disciplinary team to collaborate with science
and engineering
departments, either at their institution or other
institutions, to
produce the most well-informed art work possible.
One suggestion is
that the art project be a for-credit semester long
effort and include
consultations with science departments to develop
the final entry.
Please direct any questions to Dr. Elizabeth Ward
at Elizabeth.B.Ward@nasa.gov

Why is NASA sponsoring this
contest?
Once humans establish a presence on the Moon, the arts
will be a desired facet of life there, as they are
here on Earth. It is our intention to provoke non-science
and engineering students to think about the science
and engineering required to achieve the conditions
suitable for humans to live and work on the moon. It
is also our intention to help the science and engineering
communities appreciate valuable contributions from
other communities, particularly the arts. We
hope to see outstanding student art work that will
inspire this and future generations of explorers.
