12. Grand Prize Winner:
Wendy Crumrine in USA
"Moonwalkers gave us the images that birthed
the cosmic perspective. We saw that a single
crescent, dwarfed by the lunar horizon, held
every human sorrow, joy, dream, and love ever
lived. How do we find so much to separate us on
a single smudge of light? Our human boundaries
suddenly seemed insignificant. Transformative
perspective is what moonwalkers provide, and
so I long to be one. But perspective is useless
while the greatest boundary remains. So for all
young girls that gasp at the night sky, but live in
a world that makes them doubt their dreams
because of their gender… I would walk for them,
to show them what is possible."
Runner up / Alternate:
Fatoumata Kebe in France
"The Moon has been my whole starry sky as I
was raised in a place where you cannot
experience the Milky Way. To reach her, I
have acquired knowledge from all corners of
the world: Aerospace Engineering in Japan,
Celestial Mechanics in the USA and from those
who walked before:
Valentina Tereshkova, the first woman, Mae
Jemison, the first Black woman and Claudie
Haigneré, the first French woman. I am a
woman, Black, French and Malian. I will close
the loop with my African identity, the first
woman to land on the Moon representing
multiple identities."
