It’s been a while since we heard anything from the Museum of Science Fiction—a nonprofit organization trying to open exactly what is sounds like in D.C.

Over the summer, Museum executive director Greg Viggiano told DCist that they were eyeing potential sites to open up a preview museum and had just announced a partnership with the D.C. Public Library to host Museum-sponsored events.

In September, the Viggiano announced a partnership agreement with the D.C. Public Schools to continue their “project-based learning” initiatives they started with DCPL. Viggiano also said they signed a partnership with National Airport to install a “Future of Travel” exhibit in the airport’s terminal sometime in mid 2015.

The Museum also had an architectural design competition for the preview museum. The winning design from Emily Yen from the Rhode Island School of Design, which was picked from hundreds of entries, “will be used to inspire the cubic architecture for the museum,” Viggiano said in a statement.

Viggiano still hopes to open a preview museum sometime in 2015. Last week, they announced another design competition for aspects of what that will look like. According to a release, the “full-scale museum will be composed of seven permanent galleries designed to celebrate and encourage the very human tendency to always ask: ‘What if?'”

Organizers are encouraging artists and designers to create “a science fiction themed image that relates to one of the Museum’s seven galleries,” which are “The Creators (and The Humans),” “Other Worlds,” “Vehicles,” “Time Travels,” “Aliens, Creatures, and Altered Live,” “Computers and Robots,” and “Technology.”

Artists who want to submit their ideas are asked to submit digital images relating to one of those galleries by February 28 (though the deadline to register to submit is January 31). A jury will select the winners, who will get $1,000, on March 16. More info here.
