THE DEADLINE TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS PROJECT HAS PASSED.

MiniSpaceWorld aims to create a spectacular scale model world for space flight and astronomy. Light and sound effects, day and night simulations in the different Worlds, historical and modern vehicles in motion, and representation of future life scenes will enrich the visitors’ experience. Under the motto “Space for Everybody”, MiniSpaceWorld will also explicitly feature products already use in our everyday life today that originated from space activities.

The MSW Design Contest is a contest open for participants worldwide about imagining various parts of MiniSpaceWorld, a lively scale model exhibit about spaceflight and astronomy. Participants shall create a high-level content design including a theme description, map and graphical representations. The themes covered by MSW are extremely rich and vivid, with billions of lovely facets: this is especially – but not exclusively – true for Far Worlds – Best of Science Fiction, the theme of the 2009 contest. There is an enormous variety of worlds described in excellent science fiction stories and visualized in magazines and movies.
