European Space Agency Ode To Hubble Creative Competition, 2015

The ESA/Hubble Ode to Hubble competition lets anyone inspired by Hubble express their feelings or share their ideas in a creative and innovative way and is your chance to join the team in celebrating the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope’s 25th anniversary!

As long as it can be uploaded as a YouTube, Vine and Instagram video less than three minutes long, you can submit anything. Pan over a drawing, scroll over a poem or text, film your own Hubblecast, film yourself performing or talking about a Hubble topic, create an animation or compose a piece of music and upload it as a video piece. Just make it innovative, creative and, most of all, inspired by Hubble, or one of its great discoveries or images.
Who can apply?

There are two categories for the competition:
- One for those who are 25 and under — born in Hubble’s lifetime, but not younger than 13-year old;
- And other for over 25s, with each having five runners up and one winner.

If you don’t create a piece of your own, you can still get involved by crowd-judging the entries to whittle the selection down to a shortlist.

Prizes
The two winners will receive the once-in-a-lifetime prize of a section of Hubble’s solar array mounted in perspex. These little pieces of Hubble are part of the huge solar arrays that spent 3 years orbiting the Earth, giving Hubble its power, until they were replaced in 1993. The winners will also receive a metal-backed copy of the 25th anniversary image signed by astronomers and astronauts who have worked on Hubble. The two winning videos will be featured in our special “Ode to Hubble” Hubblecast.

The producers of the five shortlisted videos for each category will recieve a book “The Universe through the Eyes of Hubble” and their videos will be hosted on the spacetelescope.org website.
