Moon Camera Naming Contest
Aloha kākou!

Mahalo for your interest in the International Lunar Observatory Association's (ILOA) Hawaiʻi naming contest for the first Hawaiʻi-based organization’s cameras to the Moon. Through the ILO-X mission, ILOA Hawaiʻi plans to capture the first ever images of the Milky Way from the Moon Surface.

ILOA Hawaiʻi, incorporated in Hawaiʻi as a non-profit in 2007, invites all Hawaiʻi classrooms to participate in naming one of the two ILO-X cameras. Because of our connection to the islands as the home of ILOA Hawaiʻi, we would like this name to reflect the aloha and kuleana we feel towards the people here who support us every day.

The cameras, one narrow field and one wide-field, were designed and built in Canada and will be launched from Florida. Their journey is a reflection of the international endeavor astronomy truly encompasses and is a shining example of Hawaiʻi Astronomy and its collaborations with people from around the world.

For this naming contest we’re asking teachers to engage their students in lunar exploration and propose a name via this google form. We’ll be accepting one proposed name per form and an unlimited number of names per class. Every proposed name must be accompanied by a reason for that name. Photos and videos to support your proposal are suggested but not required. Classes must be located in Hawaiʻi to qualify and can be from a public, private, charter or even homeschool.

This contest will run from March 24 until May 26 2022.

We look forward to receiving your proposed names!

Mahalo,
The ILOA Hawaiʻi team
