NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) is calling for entries from high school and college students to submit their pieces on the theme of “Life and Work on the Moon.”
.
Competitors can come from many disciplines of study such as the arts, computer design, and industrial design.
.
All full time students are eligible to compete no matter what field of study or major they are in. Cash prizes are only available to students in the U.S.
.
Artists are encouraged to seek the counsel and assistance of other students in science and engineering in order to understand the Moon’s environment so that the renderings can accurately depict the Moonscape.
.
There are three categories in this competition:

• Two-Dimensional
• Three-Dimensional
• Digital Art, Video and Music

.
NASA gives these guidelines for submission of work:
.
2D AND 3D ARTWORK:
All image files for the initial entry should be submitted only as .JPG and be sized to fit on a 20 inch monitor screen. The file size (in KB or MB) will vary depending on the size of the original artwork and the media in which it was created. For judging the art, images need to fit on a monitor screen so judges can view it as a whole instead of having to look at parts of it because it is so large.
.
Music, Video and Animation Submissions
Write to contest administrator for details (elizabeth.b.ward[at]nasa[dot]gov)
.
Judging Parameters
Submissions will be evaluated for their creativeness, artistic skill, and how well the entry shows the Moon’s harsh and extreme environment.
