Yuri’s Night is pleased to announce that our two recently-announced
contests, the “Call to Humanity” Space Exploration Advertisement
Competition and Yuri’s Night International Space Sweepstakes, are now
officially open and accepting entries. $18,000 in space-themed prizes
are being offered through these two contests, both of which are
completely free to enter.
If you can’t wait to sign up, visit our Contests webpage at
http://yurisnight.net/contests/; if you’d like to hear a bit more
first, read on.
The Space Exploration Advertisement Competition will award a 4-day
tour of Moscow, Russia, including a microgravity flight in an
Ilyushin-76 aircraft, to an artist, designer or creative individual
who creates a print ad which best captures the wonder of space and
demonstrates the potential to best inspire the public. The winner will
be judged by a celebrity panel of space notables, but entries will
also be eligible for a fan-voted People’s Choice Award with another
exciting set of prizes. All entries are due by March 31st.
If you’re not quite as artistically talented, sign up for the Russian
Space Tour Sweepstakes, a free drawing which gives space enthusiasts
around the world a chance to win a 10-day “VIP Lift-Off In Baikonur”
package, which includes the opportunity to witness the launch of a
Soyuz rocket live and in person. The winner will be randomly selected
from all eligible entries.
Finally, Yuri’s Night is still in the middle of our YN11 Video
Contest, awarding a cash prize to the creator of the best tribute
video celebrating the 50th anniversary of human spaceflight. As of
March 12th, Yuri’s Night will be releasing daily videos recorded by
members of the Association of Space Explorers, including Alexey Leonov, Chris Hadfield and Valentina Tereshkova, in support of the
continued exploration of outer space; contest participants are
encouraged to make use of these videos in their entries.
For more information on these competitions, visit our contests page at

entries now!
Yuri’s Night would like to thank Space Travellers for their
