Other Competitions

There are currently four four regional Space Settlement Competitions around the world, and there are more planned in the future.

Asian Regional Space Settlement Design Competition (ARSSDC)

Australian Space Design Competion (ASDC)

Rocky Mountain Semi-Finalist Design Competition

United Kingdom Space Settlement Design Competition (UKSSDC)

These Competitions' all exist as a a semi-final component of their parent competition, the International Space Settlement Design Competition.

International Space Settlement Design Competition (ISSDC)

The original space settlement competition, the ISSDC has existed for over twenty years. Originally only open to teams from the United States, in recent years it has expanded its reach to encompass teams from Europe, South America, Australia and Asia. Up until the establishment of the ARSSDC (the first semi-finalist round to be held), all eight finalist places were awarded to the best eight Preliminary Submissions. With the introduction of each semi-finalist round, four of these finalist places are now awarded to each respective semi-finalist champion.

Beyond official "Space Settlement Design Competitions", there are also a variety of local competitions, as well as regions where Design Competitions have been folded into school curriculum's or other endeavours.
