To all my faithful readers:

Just a quick YN update. We are still having the Fun Run and the Celebration at the Meridian from 8p to 1am. However, the Space Fest Education Day is going to be rescheduled. Stay tuned for more info about that. As part of that, the Art Contest will also be rescheduled.

I'm running a Space Art Contest!


Hey!
Do you know any kids in grades K-8? Do you live in the greater Houston area? There is a space art contest underway!

Yuri's Night is an annual celebration of space.


Houston has a 3-part Yuri's Night celebration. There is a Charity 5k Fun Run / Walk, a SpaceFest Education Event, and a Celebration to finish off the evening.


This year, Houston is celebrating Yuri's Night on April 4th instead of April 12 due to the MS-150 and Easter.


One aspect of the SpaceFest Education Event is The Future of Space Art Contest for kids in grades K-8.


The Future of Space Art Contest is designed to spark public interest in the future of space with artwork inspired by Human Spaceflight. Click here for Rules and Participant Entry Form. Prizes will be awarded to the top 2 artists in each category: K-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8. Artwork must be received no later than March 31, 2008 at this address:
