What Is It All About?
This competition gives creative individuals the exciting chance to influence the minds of others and encourage them to learn more about human space exploration through art. By designing a poster, participants can show what space exploration means for them and the society. You’ll not only win a financial prize but leave a lasting legacy as the creative mind behind your nation’s space missions. Whether you’re an aspiring artist, space enthusiast, or just passionate about representing your country in a unique way, this competition is your stage to shine!
The essence of this competition lies in giving the public a chance to visually define their nation’s space missions and common vision for human spaceflight in Central Europe. We aim to encourage individuals to explore the intersection of art, science, and prestige, with the added bonus of financial prize for the winning designs. Participants will compete in five categories — art & design professionals (400€), hobby artists (250€), adults with special needs (250€), children aged between 10–15 (50€), and children with special needs aged between 10–15 (50€). The goal is to present an original and ambitious vision that inspires curiosity in space exploration and reflects key values and heritage of countries within Visegrad Four.
This competition is open to citizens from Czechia, Slovakia, Poland, or Hungary ho are passionate about space and design. Applicants must be older than 10 years. It does not matter if you are professional, hobbyist or have special needs — what matters most is your creativity and how you can visually express the future of spaceflight.
