1. How are the National Winners determined?
The National Winners will be determined from the contest entries we receive. Closest average landing to the target - submitted to us by the deadline - wins!
3. Will there be a run-off contest?
No. The 6 National Winners will each receive their trophy and get to launch their rockets in celebration from a historic spot (
Cape Coalwood
or the
Astronaut Hall of Fame
). This launch is for bragging rights only - there is no run-off contest.
4. What are the deadlines?
The June 15th deadline was chosen to allow winners enough time to plan their trip to the celebration. The official entry forms must reach contest headquarters by midnight.

2. How many National Winners will there be?
There will be 3 National Winners (one for each level) for the
October Sky Festival Celebration
and 3 national winners (one for each level) for the
Kennedy Space Center / Astronaut Hall of Fame Celebration
.
5. Why are adults are allowed in the contest?
The goal of our
Helping Kids Reach for the Stars
Program is to give kids the unique educational experience of building and launching their own solid-fuel powered model rocket. We believe that a significant number of the adults that enter the contest will want to share rocketry with kids. Also, it allows for the contest to be a family event.
