The Coalition for Space Exploration<\/a> announces a new contest:<\/p>\n

National video contest asks the public to share \u201cWhy Space Matters to the Future\u201d<\/b>
\nThe Coalition for Space Exploration and NASA Visitor Centers Consortium launch spring break promotion<\/i><\/p>\n

HOUSTON<\/b> \u2013 Space exploration has challenged, inspired, and improved us for more than half a century. Today, the Coalition for Space Exploration<\/a> (Coalition), in partnership with the recently-formed NASA Visitor Centers Consortium<\/a> announced an expansion of the Coalition\u2019s \u201cWhy Space Matters to the Future\u201d video contest that encourages U.S. residents to visualize what life will be like in 10, 25, or 50 years if the boundaries of space continue to expand.<\/p>\n

Entrants submit a short video capturing their vision of why exploring space matters and how it will benefit future generations. Three winners will receive a VIP trip to one of three NASA\u2019s visitor centers: Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in Florida, the U.S. Space and Rocket Center in Alabama or Space Center Houston in Texas. Winning videos will be shared with the public and national leaders.<\/p>\n

\u201cNASA and the space industry are on the threshold of a new era of space exploration and this promotion is a fantastic opportunity for the public to participate,\u201d said Bill Moore, chief operating officer, Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex. \u201cWe look forward to this contest opening the door for more ways for the public to personally engage in the adventure of space exploration.\u201d<\/p>\n

From March 1- Apr. 7, entrants can upload their videos and share them online. Public voting takes place from Apr. 8-14, with number of votes accrued being one criterion used by a panel of judges. Three winners will be announced on April 17.<\/p>\n

The Coalition has hosted similar video competitions in recent years, but on a smaller scale.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is amazing to take a successful concept to the next level and engage the millions of guests who follow us online and visit NASA\u2019s visitor centers each year,\u201d said George Torres, chairman of the Coalition. \u201cSome people think the U.S. space program is ending, which couldn\u2019t be further from the truth. This contest engages the public during an important time, giving them a powerful voice to our nation\u2019s leaders.\u201d<\/p>\n
