“We really wanted to engage the community for this year’s Apollo 11 anniversary,” says Dante Centuori, Armstrong Air & Space Museum executive director. “This logo design contest provides a unique opportunity for individuals to showcase their creativity while also commemorating one of humanity’s greatest achievements. The winner will also have their design seen by thousands of guests from around the world.”
Entries for the contest will be accepted starting April 29th and will go through May 15th. The winning designer will receive $300 compensation for their work and a complimentary piece of merchandise with their winning logo. As a consolation, second place will receive a free Ohio History Connection membership for a year and third place will receive a complimentary total eclipse banner. Submissions must adhere to the guidelines outlined on the museum’s website and should reflect the significance of the Apollo 11 mission and its impact on space exploration.
Once submitted, the designs will be reviewed by a panel of staff and Armstrong Air & Space Museum Association board members.
