2013 Space Foundation International Student Art Contest Winners
\nare a Truly Global Group <\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.<\/strong> (March 11, 2013) – The 36 winners of the 2013 Space Foundation International Student Art Contest are the most globally diverse group in the contest’s history. Young artists from 12 countries were selected for the top slots from among more than 4,700 entries representing 45 countries, including 38 U.S. states and territories – the largest response since the contest began three years ago.<\/p>\n

\"\"Winning artwork submitted by\u00a0Kathleen Xue, of Elite Art Academy, Palo Alto, Calif.
\nShe won the Grand Prize, 9th-12th grade category, and the Space Foundation
\nAchievement Award.<\/em><\/p>\n

The winners will receive ribbons and prizes co-sponsored by Fisher Space Pen, and their artwork will be displayed at the Space Foundation’s 29th National Space Symposium<\/em> next month at The Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs, Colo. Winners will be invited to tour the Space Symposium’s<\/em> Lockheed Martin Exhibit Center and meet former NASA astronaut Dr. Leroy Chiao, Space Foundation special advisor – human spaceflight.<\/p>\n

The Space Foundation invited students from around the world in pre-kindergarten through 12th grade to submit original artwork depicting the theme, If I Were Going…<\/em>, challenging them to imagine how they would personally experience space travel, exploration or settlement and then interpret that idea into an original work of visual art.<\/p>\n

A panel of international judges selected first, second and third place winning entries in four grade categories – PreK-2, 3-5, 6-8 and 9-12 – and three style categories – drawing, painting\/mixed media and digital. From that group, the 36 winners were chosen and the panel selected a single grand prize winner in each age category, for a total of four grand prize winners. One Space Foundation Achievement Award was also awarded, selected from among the winners by the Space Foundation’s internal graphic arts team.<\/p>\n
