The online contest, called MyAriane6, is hosted by the satellite launch provider Arianespace, along with Airbus Safran Launchers, who manufacture the Ariane 5. The grand-prize winner will receive airfare and accommodations to see an Ariane 5 launch in 2017. Additional prizes include trips to France to meet the teams behind the Ariane 6 rocket, which is scheduled to make its first launch in 2020.
To enter, participants need to post an image on Instagram that illustrates "what Ariane 6 means to them — whether that means better telecommunications, a closer relationship with space, improved geolocation, a boost to the economy or simply the innate excitement that exploring the unknown evokes," according to a statement from Arianespace.
Arianespace currently oversees launches of three space vehicles from its launch site in French Guiana: the Ariane 5, the Soyuz cargo vehicle (made by the Russian space agency, Roscosmos) and the Vega, developed by the Italian and European space agencies. The Ariane 6 will succeed the Ariane 5 as the company's heavy-lift launcher. The James Webb Space Telescope, a successor to the Hubble Space Telescope, is scheduled to launch aboard an Ariane 5 in 2018.
"Entries must include the contest hashtag (#MyAriane6), the campaign hashtag (#Ariane6GO), as well as a location hashtag to tell where they are participating from (ex. #Ireland), and users must follow @Arianespace and @ASLaunchers — and be above 18 years of age — in order to be eligible," the statement said.
The complete contest rules, regulations and other prizes can be found here.


The ten best photos will be selected by the Jury, based on aesthetic criteria and their relationship to the Ariane 6 launcher. The Jury will meet between Monday, 7 November 2016 and Wednesday, 9 November 2016 (07/11/2016 and 09/11/2016) and will render its decision on Wednesday 9 November, after its deliberations.
