Description

Our Giant Leap and this year’s SpaceGen United (SGU) organizing team have decided to partner up for an artwork competition on the theme “Women in the aerospace sector”. The contributions must also reflect the shared values of both parties which are gender equality and diversity, expressed under the sustainable development goal number 5.

This competition is a part of Our Giant Leap’s call for original creations, and will close on 21 June 2020.

The 3 winners of this competition will be offered 1 free ticket each to the SGU online congress and will present their contribution during a dedicated session of the event.

About Our Giant Leap

Our Giant Leap is an outreach initiative that aims at encouraging gender equality and diversity in the space sector. We offer a networking platform for the space sector to utilize in order to break stereotypes and embrace diversity for the full palette of opportunity and ingenuity that it presents. As an outreach and engagement initiative leading up to our kick-off event SG[France] 2020 in September 2020, we invite artists from all domains (music, dance, paintings, poetry, theatre, sculpture, installations…) to submit their original work under the general theme of “Women in Aerospace”.
