Ever read a good science-fiction book or watch a futuristic movie like "Star Wars," "Star Trek," "Ender's Game" or "The Time Machine?" Science fiction is storytelling that reflects scientific thought and foresees and communicates a future based on the reality of today. Literature, movies, music and works of visual art all have the power to communicate an idea and elicit emotion from an audience.
The Humans in Space Art Program integrates science with art, subjects that aren't frequently commingled, to globally connect a space-loving community vested in the future and understanding the impact of space, science, and technology. The program further aims to help each person appreciate the potential role he has in shaping and enabling human exploration of today — as well as tomorrow.
Join NASA's International Space Station, the Center for the Advancement of Science in Space and the Humans in Space Art Program on a journey of extraterrestrial exploration by participating in the 2014 Humans in Space Art Video Challenge.
Individuals, or teams of college students and early-career professionals worldwide, can submit a three-minute video capturing their visions of "How will space, science and technology benefit humanity?" Video artwork may be any style, featuring original animation, visual art, music, live-action drama, poetry, dance, Rube Goldberg machines, apps and more. Younger participants may submit a video, but artwork from artists of all ages will be judged together.
Video artwork will be evaluated by an interdisciplinary team of science and engineering representatives from space station international partners and art experts. The final winning videos will be selected by a panel of celebrity judges. The individual or team who creates the first place overall video will be awarded a prize, and winning artwork will be given worldwide visibility and flown in orbit on the International Space Station.
Entries are due Nov. 15.
