Due
Date Extended to April 15, 2009
2009 Contest at a
Glance:
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration
invites high school and college students from all
areas of study to enter, including the arts, industrial
design, architecture, computer design, and the
fine arts. Students are asked to submit their work
on the theme: Life and Work on
the Moon. Artists are encouraged to collaborate with science and
engineering students. Such collaboration is not required, but would help
to ensure that the art is valid for the Moon’s harsh environment. Any
full time student can enter, regardless of major or area of study.
Entries will be accepted in three categories: two-dimensional,
three-dimensional, and digital, including video. Entries
will be evaluated not only on their artistic qualities,
but also on whether they depict a valid scenario. Prizes
include awards and exhibit opportunities. Entries are
due no later than April 15, 2009.
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.
- All entries
are due no later than April
15, 2009 for College entries and April
15, 2009 for High School entries.
- Cash prizes, certificates of achievement, and
exhibit opportunities are planned.
- We expect that winners will be announced in May
of 2009.
- 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.
