Contest Encourages Student Artists Worldwide to ‘Shoot for the Moon’

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Oct. 4, 2021 — Space Foundation, a nonprofit advocate organization founded in 1983 for the global space ecosystem, today announced the opening of the 12th Annual International Student Art Contest, with the support of Noosphere Venture Partners. Student artists from around the world, ages 3 to 18 years, are invited to create and submit original, space-oriented artwork. Participants may draw, paint or create a mixed media or digital work for the 2022 contest theme, “Living, Working and Playing on the Moon.”

 

For over a decade, the Annual International Student Art Contest has inspired young people to use their creative gifts and curiosity to explore the wonders of space and the exciting possibilities in science, technology, engineering and mathematic (STEM) fields. The contest provides a chance for students to showcase their talents, and presents an opportunity for parents, teachers and communities to spark a love of STEM in young people through the lens of space.

 

“As different as each person and country may be, we all share the same space,” said Shelli Brunswick, chief operating officer of Space Foundation. “In 2021, the Annual International Student Art Contest generated more than 4,500 entries from 36 U.S. states and 88 countries. With NASA and its Artemis Program partners working to take us to the Moon, we will all have an advanced preview of how the world’s children see their future on the lunar surface.”

 

Dr. Max Polyakov, the founder of co-sponsor Noosphere Venture Partners, said, “The Moon has been a muse to Earth’s artists and scientists for thousands of years, but today’s students may have the chance to even walk on it. We dedicate this year’s contest to all the opportunities provided by Moon exploration and hope to inspire them to plant their own flags on the Earth’s only natural satellite.”

 

There will be 25 winners — first, second and third place for each of eight age categories, and one young artist will receive the Space Foundation Achievement Award. Winning artwork will be displayed and shared worldwide, including Space Foundation Headquarters and Discovery Center, Space Foundation and contest websites, various social media platforms, and the 37th Space Symposium to be held April 4-7, 2022, in Colorado Springs.

 

There is no cost to participate. The deadline to submit entries is noon Universal Time (12 UTC), Jan. 19, 2022. Artwork must be submitted online by the student’s teacher, parent or legal guardian, age 18 and older.
