The ESA Champions initiative has been set up as a way of recognising and rewarding advocacy for space in Europe among the ESA workforce and beyond. We looked for talented and passionate people to become part of a strong community of space enthusiasts promoting ESA, and we found them!

We looked at five categories (Artwork, Video, Education, Storytelling and Public Speaking) with three Champions per category. The awards are:

• 1st place: Personal interview with an ESA Astronaut
• 2nd place: Space-flown ESA mission patch with framed certificate of authenticity
• 3rd place: Assortment of unique ESA goodies from our ESA Space Shop
