Students are encouraged to use the theme “Breaking Boundaries in Space” and to incorporate diverse historical figures who blazed trails for those who came after them in their artwork.

Every student-artist who submits eligible artwork will receive an official “Certificate of Flight” signed by Chris Ferguson, Boeing’s flight crew representative and former NASA astronaut.
