Submit Artwork for International Student Art Contest by Nov. 15

For its fourth year, the Space Foundation’s International Student Art Contest has a new earlier deadline. All entries for the 2014 contest must be submitted by Friday, Nov. 15, 2013, noon Universal Time, (12:00 UTC), and be submitted online by the student’s teacher.

For the 2013 contest, 4,700 entries were submitted, representing 45 countries, including 38 U.S. states and territories – the largest response since the contest began.
