Each year, the Space Foundation International Student Art Contest invites pre-kindergarten through 12th grade students from around the world to submit original artwork based on a space-oriented theme.
The 2015 contest theme, The View From My Spaceship..., challenges students to design their own concept of a view looking into space from a spaceship - and then interpret that idea into an original work of visual art.
Acceptable artwork media/format:
• Drawing
• Painting
• Mixed Media
• Digital Art
Eight Age Categories:

• 9-10 years
• 11-12 years

• 17-18 years
Although there are no any specific size requirements since submission is digital, the ideal size for entries should be no smaller than 11†x 17†and no larger than 18â€x 24â€. Limit of one entry per student.
There is no entry fee.
