Competition Details

Would you like to see your own space artwork on the ESA Kids site? Here’s your chance! Every month ESA Kids is looking at a different theme in more detail. Themes include everything from orbits and planets to astronauts and asteroids.

This month, we’re diving into the incredible world of asteroids! With ESA’s exciting HERA mission about to launch, we want to see your creative ideas about these mysterious space rocks.

HERA will travel all the way to two asteroids—Didymos and its little sidekick Dimorphos—to help scientists figure out how we can protect Earth from asteroids in the future. What do you think these space rocks look like? Are they enormous, craggy boulders floating through space, or tiny pebbles zooming around the Sun? Maybe you can imagine HERA as a brave explorer uncovering secrets hidden in the asteroids’ rocky surfaces.

Get ready to draw your wildest asteroid adventure and show us what the HERA mission might discover!

Artwork could be a drawing, a painting, model or mobile… use your imagination! Get creative and show us your imagination through art!
