• Kids, NASA wants your original artwork! Children from around the world – including NASA families – are encouraged to submit artwork.
• Parents are limited to verbal assistance only. (No parental artwork of any kind, please.)
• There is no prescribed artwork form that needs to be used. Types of original artwork can include two-dimensional, sculpture, collage, or digital. However, AI-generated content will not be accepted. Artwork must be original.
• Participants will take a photo/scan of their artwork suitable for the equivalent of an 8 x 10-inch (20.32 x 25.4 cm) artwork. All photos must be horizontal/landscape orientation.
• A photo or scanned copy (JPG, PNG, PDF files only) of the masterpiece should be uploaded into the SciArt submission system (https://contest.sciartexchange.org/NASA-crew-calendar-2024/). At the submission system portal, select the artwork theme for your entry and complete the electronic submission form.
• Be sure to submit artwork to the correct theme.
• Be sure to submit artwork in the correct age range. Age is determined at the time of submission.
• Only one artwork per submission.
• After submitting the artwork an email will be sent to the person listed as the parent/guardian on the electronic form. This email will have a link to the contest agreement form and must be completed to finalize the entry submission process. Please check all email addresses carefully and avoid using firewalled or 2-step-confirmed email addresses – or we will be unable to email you the agreement form needed to complete your entry.
• Entries will be judged on originality and theme. You may submit multiple artwork entries; each entry MUST be submitted separately (one at a time) to be considered. Selected entrants can only have one piece of artwork in the calendar.

Tips for a Successful Entry:

• Don’t delay! Apply in advance to ensure you have enough time to submit your artwork AND fill out the contest agreement form (Note: Your entry will not be finalized until you submit the contest agreement form, which will be sent to the email address you provide).
• Be sure to provide an email address that is not firewall-protected. This will ensure you receive the contest agreement form.
• If you have more than one submission, enter each of them separately. Go to the SciArt submission system to upload your artwork and enter your email address to receive and sign the contest agreement form, and repeat this process for each piece of artwork you are submitting).
• Launch your creativity and shoot for the stars! 😊 🚀

Good Luck!

NASA’s Commercial Crew Program continues delivering on its goal of safe, reliable, and cost-effective human transportation to and from the International Space Station from the United States through a partnership with American private industry. CCP also continues NASA’s rich legacy of human space exploration by expanding technology, creating new industries, and helping to foster a peaceful connection with other nations.

Creativity, curiosity, and exploration are vital to the human spirit and accepting the challenge of human space exploration invites the citizens of the world today and the generations of tomorrow to join NASA on an exciting journey to help us address fundamental questions about our place in the universe and the history of our solar system.

We sincerely hope that you will join us on this journey and take part in our competition this year. We look forward to seeing the brilliant artwork of the next generation of space explorers!
