Mission control, we are calling all young artists! Dive into the cosmos and bring your vision of space travel to life in the APRSAF-30 poster competition for ages 6-12.  

Let your out-of-this-world creativity soar as you create a poster that has the potential to be seen by space agencies across the world at this year’s 30th Asia-Pacific Regional Space Agency Forum.
