A variety of moon-related activities are being coordinated worldwide on and around the anniversary of 20-21 July 2019.

To encourage the involvement of children in the celebrations, Moon Landing 50 has established a new art contest for children.

​

We invite children aged 5 to 12 to produce a piece of artwork that represents the theme: Under One Moon. The artwork can be drawn or painted on a size A4 paper.

​

3 winners will be selected for the Under One Moon contest per age group (5-6, 7-9, and 10-12).

Each winner will have their artwork shared online at MoonLanding50.org and IAU-100.org and will receive: 

-one Telescope KIT from the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ) and the IAU Office for Astronomy Outreach (OAO)

-one Moon and one Earth from the Celestial Buddies toy set
