NASA 2010 Art Student Competition
Category: Competitions & Awards
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 music and video. Entries will be evaluated on creativity, artistic qualities, but also on whether they depict a valid scenario for the moon's harsh conditions. Prizes include awards and exhibit opportunities. Entries are due no later than April 15, 2010.
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.
