Contest at a Glance:
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. Please direct any questions to Dr. Elizabeth Ward at

| | 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. | | Link: http://artcontest.larc.nasa.gov/
