Multimedia

Many people have been exposed to various facets of the Australian Space Design Competition, from teachers to parents to competitors to journalists. It is important that you can get an objective feeling for the ASDC.

Here you can find a media link, with newspaper articles from the past five years, from the original Australian entrants through to the current ASDC champions. There is also a radio interview available, recorded in 2006 between two ISSDC competitors and a local Brisbane radio personality, in which a broad overview of the competition process is available.

A collection of testimonials have also been collected over the course of Space Settlement Competitions in Australia, from former (and current) competitors. Feel free to read through what they have to say on the competition; their ideas, feelings, and overall opinion about the ASDC and its international counterpart, the ISSDC.

In the various ISSDC and ASDC Photo Galleries you can find a series of photos from various points throughout the competition history. Observe just what happens during a finals presentation, see firsthand what the judges and officials feel like after running the competition! New gallery's are added regularly to reflect new points in the competition, so stay tuned for fresh faces of the ASDC!

If you would like to submit any multimedia for the website, whether newspaper articles from your local area or photo's of your group working or your own personal testimonal, please contact the Competition Coordinator. The more multimedia the better!
