The 2008 contest has ended
Please check back in September of 2008
for etails on a new contest

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

Entries will be accepted in three major categories:  two-dimensional, three dimensional and digital.  Each category will have pre-determined size limits.

  • Contest opens in October, 2007 and all entries are due no later than March 15, 2008 for College entries and March 15, 2008 for High School entries.

  • Cash prizes, certificates of achievement, and exhibit opportunities are planned.

  • We expect that winners will be announced in May of 2008.

  • All entries will initially be submitted digitally as 300 dpi jpeg images. 

  • An on-line gallery is planned for public viewing of the artwork.

  • Winners will be asked to ship their work to NASA for exhibit purposes.

 

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.
