The American Rocketry Challenge: Marketing Competition

When you think of rocketry, you might picture Elon Musk's SpaceX launches or NASA's historic Apollo missions. But there's a whole universe (pun intended) of young, budding rocket scientists right in our schools, and they're making some serious waves.

The American Rocketry Challenge isn't your average school project. It's a chance for students to dive deep into the world of STEM, aerospace, and, of course, rockets. The challenge? Create a video that generates excitement about their team, the American Rocketry Challenge, and the broader world of aerospace and space exploration.

Well, for starters, there's a whopping $3,000 up for grabs for the team that creates the best video. And it's not just about the cash. The winning team also gets a custom logo and poster consultation and design by 2046 Design. Yep, the same folks who created the American Rocketry Challenge's snazzy new logo. And if that wasn't enough, they'll also throw in some custom swag with your brand-new logo.

Missed out on the top spot? Don't fret. There's a cool $1,500 for the second-place team. Not too shabby for a school project, right?

The competition isn't just about creating a video. Teams can earn bonus points by engaging with the media, their community, and their peers. From rocketry tutorials to social media shoutouts, there are plenty of ways to share your story and rack up those points.

All entries will be judged based on a rubric by at least three members of the American Rocketry Challenge team. From there, the top ten entries will be sent to a panel of five judges from the challenge's partners and sponsors. And if you're wondering where to upload your masterpiece, YouTube and Vimeo are the platforms of choice.

The Aerospace Industries Association, the folks championing this challenge, are no strangers to the world of aerospace. They've been around the block, advocating for policies and regulations that ensure the continued success of the U.S. aerospace and defense industry.

The American Rocketry Challenge is more than just a competition. It's a celebration of young minds, innovation, and the endless possibilities of space exploration. So, whether you're a student, a teacher, or just someone who loves rockets, this is one challenge you won't want to miss.
