Introduction. The primary purpose of the National Space Society Space Settlement Art Contest is to encourage the creation of space settlement art that can be used by NSS for the limited use of promoting its non-profit objective of creating a spacefaring civilization. Such use could include the NSS website, the NSS magazine Ad Astra, and possible brochures and other promotional materials. We believe this use is for the benefit of the future of humanity and we hope and trust that this is a cause and use that artists would support. However, we recognize that some artists have legitimate reasons for restricting the use of their art to the Space Settlement Calendar Art Contest only. We therefore offer "limited use" and "restricted use" options when entering this contest.
