The winners of two ESA contests celebrating the launch of the international James Webb Space Telescope mission (Webb), #WebbAtHome and #ESAWebbPartyContest, have now been announced.
Last year, we opened two competitions to the public: #ESAWebbPartyContest, which asked members of our Pinterest community to design their own space-themed Halloween party for Webb, and #WebbAtHome, which invited entrants to make a homemade spacecraft or rocket representing the mission from everyday household items. The entries to both contests were hugely creative, inspiring and showed the personality and talent of our online community. We’d like to express our thanks and appreciation to everyone who has taken part in supporting and celebrating the launch of Webb, and congratulate the worthy winners.
This image shows a number of entries to #WebbAtHome – those that were awarded 'spot prizes'.
Spot prize winners: Webb spacecraft models by the Hamada Soltan family, Egypt; Webb and Ariane from household items by Oscar Lucca, Argentina; Webb cookies by Christopher Teale, UK; Voice visualisation by Claudius Gruner, Germany; Origami by Émile Girard Tsuru, USA; Typographic painting by Alisha Jamal, UAE; and a Webb lantern by the Wylezalek family, Germany.
