Seeking Talented Students

The 2013 Space Foundation International Student Art Contest theme If I Were Going… challenges students to imagine how they would personally experience space travel, exploration or settlement – and then interpret that idea into an original work of visual art (drawing, painting or digital). PreK-12th grade students (or age equivalent outside the U.S.) are invited to enter; teacher sponsorship is required.

The Space Foundation will give a total of 41 awards to 36 Winners: 1st, 2nd and 3rd Place in each of three media/art categories for each grade level/age group. One Grand Prize winner will be selected for each grade category from among the 1st Place Winners in that group for a total of four Grand Prizes. In addition, the Space Foundation will confer a Space Foundation Achievement Award, which will be selected by the Space Foundation graphic arts team from among all the Winners.
