Etsy and NASA Announce Space Craft Contest

Etsy and NASA Announce Space Craft Contest

In an unlikely partnership, Etsy and NASA (the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration) are running a contest to honor NASA's Space Shuttle program and celebrate its accomplishments. Etsy is calling for designs inspired by NASA, its programs and the wonders of space exploration; winning designs may be flown on the space shuttle.

There are three categories: 2D Original Art (painting, drawing, hand-pulled print, mixed media or flat collage); 2D Art Reproduction (photographic or computer-generated print); and 3D Art. Vintage items are not eligible. The Grand Prize winner will receive a $500 Etsy shopping spree and an all-expenses-paid trip with a guest to attend the shuttle launch at Kennedy Space Center in Cocoa, Florida in February as NASA's VIP guests, including a VIP tour. Three Best in Category Winners will receive $250 and swag from Etsy and NASA.

The deadline to enter is November 2, 2010. For information on how to enter, judging criteria, official Rules and Regulations, etc., go to the NASA Space Craft Contest site. (The contest is limited to United States residents only, 18 years and older.)
