HAMPTON, Va. — NASA is going forward to the Moon in 2024, as part of a larger effort to land humans on Mars and beyond.
So, "We Are Going” has become the agency’s mantra as engineers, researchers, and scientists work to develop and refine the technologies that will allow us to maintain a sustainable lunar presence and learn to live and work in space.
The art contest, hosted by NASA Langley, is intended to illustrate where NASA is going next. That's either where they're going next in research, development, missions, and innovations that highlight NASA’s science, technology and human exploration activities which touch every aspect of our lives here on Earth.
NASA Langley is asking schools, organizations, and community groups to have students submit one artwork. A grand-prize winner will be selected from all entries and a first-place, second-place, third-place, and honorable-mention winner will be selected for each grade level.
All students grades K-12 are encouraged to participate. The contest is open to all students attending public, private, parochial and homeschools who are residents of the United States.
The Art Contest submission period starts Dec. 1, 2019, and ends on Dec. 31, 2019, at midnight EST. Michael Kagan will be the lead judge for the contest.
