The AstroArts Contest is now CLOSED - Thank you for participating.
"Colorful Journey of a Star from a Nebula" by Aavya Singh, Second Prize winner, teen category, GAM2018
Astronomers Without Borders is proud to host the fourth AstroArts contest. Art is a fantastic way to share the excitement of astronomy. We can't wait to see what you'll submit to the contest!
The competition is open to to everyone of all ages.
There are four categories:
Young Children - ages 7 and under
Youth - ages 8-12
Teen - ages 13-17
Adults - ages 18+
Participants under the age 18 must be approved by a parent or guardian. Teachers, we encourage you to get your whole class involved!
The form of the artwork is very open, but it must be a creative piece. AstroPhotography is not accepted. There is no specific theme. Your artworks should be inspired by your passion for astronomy.
The artwork must be submitted digitally. If you have created a physical piece, please submit a high quality photograph of the work, making sure it is clear and easy to see.
Prizes
Prizes vary and winners are not guaranteed a specific prize. However, we can say that Sky & Tel and Astronomy Magazine are two of our prize sponsors!
