Catch a Star - children's art competition

The "Catch a Star 2007 Artists" competition, organised by ESO and the European Association for Astronomy Education (EAAE), has received almost 400 pictures from school students across Europe and beyond. The "Catch a Star" competition aims to encourage an interest in astronomy among school students.

We are now asking you for your help! We invite you to help us award the prizes, by voting for your favourite picture in each of the age ranges.  If you have friends or colleagues who would also like to vote, they are welcome to do so. This is a public vote.

You can see the entries at http://www.eso.org/outreach/eduoff/edu-prog/catchastar/CAS2007/gallery.php

You can find out more about the competition (including its other sections: "Catch a Star Researchers", and "Catch a Star Adventurers") at http://www.eso.org/outreach/eduoff/edu-prog/catchastar/CAS2007/

Winners will be announced at the "Science on Stage 2" international science teaching festival in Grenoble, France, 2-6 April 2007, and will also be posted on the "Catch a Star" website.

Thank you for your help!

With kind regards,

The ESO Public Affairs Dept.
