Congratulations to the winners and runners-up for their excellent drawings and achievements. Their work is now officially part of a European Space Agency (ESA), German Aerospace Center (DLR), Swedish Space Corporation (SSC) and Swedish National Space Board (SNSB) project. It will be launched on a high altitude balloon from above the polar circle in the town of Kiruna in Sweden in October from the Esrange Space Center.

About The FISHy Design Competition

The FISHy design competition invited students between 4 and 18 years old to design an artwork to be displayed on the outside of our dropped payload ‘The FISH’ and be flown on the balloon to approximately 30km altitude where the sky has turned black! The reel.SMRT team looked for creative, colourful, original and of course fishy designs! We received many great designs from around the world and thank all applicants for their efforts and enthusiasm.
