Once in a Blue Micro Moon: Creative Showcase with Slooh
- 22 hours ago
- 2 min read
May 30th brings us a Blue Micro Moon, the second full moon of the month, and at its farthest point from Earth, making it appear smaller and more mysterious than usual, like the moon is playing a little hard to get. Slooh is throwing a Star Party in its honor. Before we gather under that glowing orb together, we want to know: what does moon joy do to you?
Does it make you want to write something? Draw something? Sing something quietly to yourself in the backyard? Does it make you feel ancient and small and somehow also enormous? Does it make you think of the ocean, or your grandmother, or a dream you once had? Does it just make you really, really happy to be alive on a planet with a moon?
What We're Looking For:
Absolutely anything! Poems, paintings, short stories, photographs, collages, songs, doodles on napkins, data visualizations, haikus, illustrations, tiny essays, moon journals — if the moon whispered it into existence, we want to see it. There are no rules about medium, style, or format. There is only one requirement: moon joy must be present.
Prizes & Recognition:
Selected work will be featured at Slooh's Blue Micro Moon Star Party on May 30th and across Slooh's social channels. Winners receive Slooh merchandise and the honor of having their creation celebrated under an actual blue micro moon, which, as the name implies, doesn't happen very often.
Deadline to Submit:
Sunday, May 25th at 5 pm
How to Participate:
Go find your moon joy. Make something from it.
Send it to anna@slooh.com with the subject line: "Once in a Blue Micro Moon."
That's genuinely it.
This contest is open to everyone — members, educators, students, families, and anyone who has ever looked up at the sky and felt something shift. If you need a nudge or a little inspiration to get started, reach out. We love talking about the moon. We do it constantly.
The star party kicks off May 30th at 4 PM ET / 7 PM PT. The Blue Micro Moon is already getting ready. 🌕✨
