In my other life, when working at my favorite museum in DC, I had plans to be an exhibition designer.<\/p>\n

Well, these plans changed but if I only had time and focus to participate,\u00a0 this would be a very ‘out of this world’ competition.<\/p>\n

The Museum of Science Fiction<\/a>, which I never knew even existed (but not a physical place yet), and in the DC area, wants to know,<\/p>\n

“Do you have a personal vision of the future?<\/em>” (Washington Post credit Nancy Szokan)<\/p>\n

\"MSOF<\/a>
MOSF’s website looks like a very cool scene out of Star Wars<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

MOSF is holding exhibition design competition<\/a> for participants to enter their ideas for a preview space upon which the museum wants their facility to be built by 2017.<\/p>\n

Their current postal address is:<\/p>\n

Alexandria, VA 22313-0088
\nUSA: Earth: Sol: Milky Way<\/p>\n

Wacky and fun — this could be nearly in my backyard!!<\/p>\n

The objective is for entrants to design this museum’s future space (no pun intended).<\/p>\n

This blows your typical science fair out of the water and gives a chance for budding, as well as established designers, to call this MSOF’s new home a part of their vision.<\/p>\n

The registration deadline is October 31. Submission deadline is November 30 and the winner will be announced December 15 along with a $1,000 price and a chance to be a MOsci-fi pioneer.<\/p>\n

\"MSOF_Exhibit<\/a><\/p>\n

They don’t say much in their promo video, but you’ll have fun watching and counting how many sci-fi movies and references you’ll recognize.<\/p>\n
