The future of human space exploration is brighter than ever- look at all the amazing crewed spaceflights in the past year, including those from NASA, SpaceX, Virgin Galactic, and Blue Origin! For many of us, our inspiration truly “blasted off” during our time at Space Camp. Let’s come together and reflect on our past as we celebrate the future.

Space exploration is an international endeavor and truly has no bounds. Last year’s Space Camp alumni patch design winner was Ana Paty Islas from Mexico City, Mexico.

This year’s theme is AlumniFest: Resume the Countdown and from reviewing all the amazing designs we received last year, we want to see your artistic talent again!

General Rules:

1. Attending the AlumniFest event (virtually or in person)

2. Incorporate “AlumniFest: Resume the Countdown” (or the spirit of the theme) and the year “2021” somewhere in the patch.

3. The design must be an original with no copyrighted material.

4. Submit your design to [email protected] by the deadline.

This patch design contest will run from August 2 through August 12 and the winning design will again, be made into a physical patch! Below is last year’s alumni patch design, showing the original design and the patch it was made into!

Submit your design to [email protected] by August 12th at midnight Central time to be considered. The winner will be announced August 16.

Good luck and we look forward to receiving all your designs!
