Call for Artistic Creations: Let’s Say Thank You to Hubble!

24 April 2020

While many of us are staying at home during these challenging times, ESA/Hubble is inviting you to get creative to help us celebrate Hubble’s 30th birthday!

On 24 April 2020, the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope will be celebrating 30 years of science discoveries that have revolutionised nearly all areas of current astronomical research, from planetary science to cosmology, and its countless pictures are unmistakably out of this world.

ESA/Hubble has launched various initiatives to celebrate this special occasion, and the latest project invites the general public to submit Hubble-themed artwork. A selection of submitted artwork will be featured in future ESA/Hubble outreach activities.

Artistic creations of all kinds are encouraged. This includes drawings, paintings, photography, sculptures, and graphic designs that thank and celebrate the Hubble Space Telescope. Inspiration can include:

Hubble’s 30th anniversary
The Hubble Space Telescope spacecraft
Hubble’s scientific achievements
Hubble’s beautiful imagery
We also invite you to create your own idea for a Hubble anniversary image!

Submissions will be accepted from Hubble fans from all countries and of all ages.

At the discretion of ESA/Hubble, a selection of the submitted artwork received from the European Space Agency (ESA) Member States will be featured in a special announcement on SpaceTelescope.org, a special Hubblecast, ESA/Hubble’s social media, and dedicated albums on Facebook and Flickr.

Deadline for submissions is 31 May 2020 at 17:00 Central Europe Time.

We also encourage you to share your artwork online using #ThankYouHubble and #Hubble30!

Please read the complete rules and restrictions below.

Submissions are now closed. Please stay tuned to enjoy the Hubble 30 artistic creations!
