The Center for Educational Partnerships at Old Dominion University, the Virginia Space Grant Consortium, the ODU Libraries and the Slover Library are holding a contest to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the moon landing.
"Voyages and Discoveries: Cross-Generational Reflections on the Significance of Space Exploration" seeks submissions from two-person adult-teen or adult-child teams recalling the July 20, 1969, landing and providing thoughts on the future of space exploration. Teams may submit a written story, poem or dialogue with an illustration to accompany the text. The deadline for entries is May 31. Age categories are 4-7, 8-11, 12-15 and 16-19.
Workshops to provide help for the submissions will be held at 12:30 p.m. in rooms 555 and 290 in the Slover Library on April 12, 19, 26 and May 3, 10, 17 and 24.
