The deadline for submissions for the contest to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the moon landing, which is sponsored by the Center for Educational Partnerships at Old Dominion University, the Virginia Space Grant Consortium, the ODU Libraries and the Slover Library, has been extended until July 31.
