Entry Deadline: May 31
 
What will the future of aeronautics look like? Students are invited to help NASA envision innovative solutions to real-world aeronautical challenges by submitting an original art piece capturing their ideas. Submissions can take the form of a variety of art mediums – including digital art, models, comic books, essays, and stories.

Winners will earn the opportunity to have a NASA subject matter expert present to their classroom or school, and winning artwork may be featured on the NASA Aeronautics website.
Audience: Subject Matter Experts in Earth and Space Science
