To all prospective contestants: This contest remains open and will make awards for the lunar-centric challenge due on April 15, 2010. In addition, due to NASA's recent change of focus from a manned lunar mission to other exploration priorities, we will also accept Mars themed entries for the April 15 due date. Next fall, we expect to change the challenge of the artcontest to reflect new NASA missions.
