University of Memphis - Sophomore
2008 Contest Winner

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.Find out what NASA is planning, watch the short video animation Back to the Moon here: http://sacd.larc.nasa.gov/multimedia/LATtrailer.html

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

• Cash prizes, certificates of achievement, and exhibit opportunities are planned.
• All entries will initially be submitted digitally as 150 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.

Please direct any questions to Dr. Elizabeth Ward at Elizabeth.B.Ward@nasa.gov
