The American Rocketry Challenge has announced The Marketing Competition 2021. It’s the once in a lifetime opportunity to show off your work and get everyone excited about rocketry, STEM, and aerospace. The team with the best video based on message power, creativity, editing, and technical skills is up for a grand prize. All US citizens of any age, are eligible to apply. This year’s 2021 competition is attracting video makers and experts from across the country.
The “Marketing Competition 2021” is an initiative to increase awareness about tech and aerospace through creative videos. Engaging the public, the community, and your colleagues will all help your team win bonus points. There are plenty of opportunities to help share your story and earn points, from making rocketry guides to connecting with the sponsors on social media and showing off your rocket there. At least three members of the American Rocketry Challenge team will score all submissions using the scoring rubric. The top ten entrants will then be judged by a jury of five judges comprised of the partners and sponsors of the contest.
Every year, almost 5,000 students from around the country compete in the American Rocketry Challenge, which is the world’s biggest rocket competition. The competition allows middle and high school students to plan, create, and fire model rockets while also providing them with hands-on experience solving engineering problems. They do this in collaboration with the Aerospace Industries Association of America (AIA). It is the nation’s foremost trade association for aerospace and defence manufacturers and vendors and is the authoritative voice on civil and industrial space, commercial transportation, defence and security, and national airspace systems matters.
