ALIEN OF THE YEAR COMPETITION
Here at Sounds of Space Mission Control [Tumblr Sector], we know that aliens come in all shapes and sizes – just look at ET, Mr Spock or Yoda for example.
We’ve been wondering if there is a perfect alien out there – one that might win an intergalactic beauty contest or appear on the cover of Martian Weekly and the 6pm Solar System News.
To try and solve this quantum question, we’re organising the Alien of the Year competition – we want to know what you think!
Share a photo of your extra-terrestrial design via Tumblr, Facebook, Twitter, Flickr or YouTube and be in with a chance of winning a cosmic prize courtesy of Thinktank, sci-fi artist David A. Hardy and the National Space Centre!
