Here is a very nicely done video made on the International Space Station showing the wonderful artworks of the winners and finalists in the Humans in Space Youth Art Contest displayed on a tablet with the station’s Cupola module windows in the background. Astronaut Chris Hadfield gives an introduction. The soundtrack music is also from one of the entrants.

The international Humans in Space Youth Art Competition calls for youth 10-18 years old to “be inspired, creative and heard.” We invite them to learn about space and communicate their visions of the future of space travel and exploration through visual, literary, video, and musical artwork.
This years theme addresses the question, “How will humans use science and technology to explore space in the future, and what mysteries will we uncover?”
During a Google+ Hangout on NASA Television, Astronaut Leland Melvin, NASA experts, and representatives from LEGO discussed the “NASA’s Missions: Imagine and Build” competition. Anyone age 13 and over can enter a futuristic aircraft or spacecraft design built with the toy bricks into the competition. Entry deadline is July 31, with winners announced the week of Sept. 1. NASA and LEGO are partnering to inspire the next generation of aerospace engineers.
